The idyllic township housing the sacred lake of  Pushkar, lies 11 km from Ajmer. Pushkar is  separated from Ajmer, by the Nag Pahar  (Snake Mountain). This beautiful lake  surrounded by bathing ghats, has its religious  significance, rooted in a myth. A lovely and  gigantic fair is held every year, on Kartik  Poornima (full moon in October-November).

About 1,00,000 pilgrims gather here, to take a dip in the holy lake. The fair is also the biggest camel market. Besides camels, horses and bullocks are sold here. The colourfully dressed people enhance the exuberant mood of the fair. Pushkar abounds in temples, the special attraction being, the temple of Lord Brahma, the only temple in India, dedicated to Brahma.

This somewhat somnolent town, reverberates with hectic activity during the festivities. Extensive arrangements are made to cope with the large attendance. A host of cultural programmes are staged to enthrall the audience. The biggest draws of the events, are the cattle auction and the camel race. Puppet shows are the other major crowd - pullers.
