<h2><strong>Pushkar History</strong></h2>

<p><strong>Pushkar is the only place where Lord Brahma is worshipped</strong>.&nbsp;There is an intriguing story behind it. The Lord Brahma had to perform a yajna with all the deities and demons, so he created mountains in all directions: The Nilgiris in the North, the Ratnagiri range in the South, the Suryaa Girls in the East and the Sanchooras in the West. The yajna had to be performed in pairs, so Brahma sent Narad Rishi to call Saraswati to perform Yajna, but Saraswati was not ready. After that, Brahma asked Lord Indra to provide him with a wife and for that, Lord Indra chose a cowherd girl. The girl had to marry Lord Brahma to perform the Yajna, but the girl needed to be of the same caste. So they passed that girl from a cow, as the cow is considered to be sacred. Then the girl came to be known as Gayatri. After that, Sarawati arrived and cursed Lord Brahma that he will never be worshipped. However, the Saraswati diluted her curse and give a blessing to the Pushkar to be the king of pilgrimages<strong>. Pushkar in Rajasthan </strong>and it is one of the holy city of Rajasthan.
