Pushkar

▪ India
      town, central Rajasthan (Rājasthān) state, northwestern India. A pilgrimage centre, the town contains five temples, all of modern construction because the earlier buildings were destroyed by the Mughal emperor Aurangzeb (reigned 1658–1707). The principal temple and Pushkar Lake are dedicated to the god Brahma. Bathing ghats (stairways descending to the water) surround the lake, to which great sanctity is attached, and religious fairs there are attended annually by thousands of pilgrims. The Pushkar Camel Fair is one of India's largest and most colourful cattle fairs. Pop. (2001) 14,791.
