Pushkar lake lies at the spiritual core of Pushkar, surrounded by 52 stone stepped ghats, each linked to a specific royal lineage or religious order. This sacred tank defines what is famous in Pushkar, drawing pilgrims who bathe in its waters and offer flowers while priests conduct puja rituals for small donations. The Brahma Ghat and Varaha Ghat are considered the most auspicious, especially for those visiting the nearby Pushkar Brahma temple. Photography is restricted around bathing areas, and visitors are expected to respect the sanctity of the site.

What makes this place special

The ghats, built and maintained over centuries by Rajput rulers and religious trusts, reflect a condensed history of patronage and devotion that complements the spiritual aura of every Pushkar temple in town.
