Pushkar is one of the oldest living cities in India and it lies on the shore of Pushkar Lake close to the Thar Desert. Among a handful of temples of Lord Brahma, it has the most revered one. According to Hindu mythology, Lord Brahma is the creator of the Universe and a holy dip in the Pushkar Kund is believed to wash away your sins. Archeological Survey of India puts the date of the temples to be in the 14th century but as per the legends, the temple is about 2000 years old. An annual camel fair is held here every year in the month of November and draws people from around the world. Pushkar also has a significance in Sikh pilgrimage with Gurdwaras dedicated to Guru Nanak and Guru Gobind Singh.
