JAGAT PITA SHRI BRAHMA MANDIR:
Pushkar boasts temples, though few are as ancient as you might expect at such an important pilgrimage site, since many were destroyed by Aurangzeb, a Mogul ruler and were subsequently rebuilt. The most famous is the Brahma Temple, said to be the only temple in the world dedicated to this deity.

SAVITRI TEMPLE:
The one-hour trek up to the hilltop Savitri Temple overlooking the lake is best made early in the morning; the view is magical.
