Pushkar
The sister city of Ajmer, Pushkar is just 11 Km away from the city. The road to Pushkar passes through the Nag Pahar or the Snake Mountain. Pushkar is an ancient city. The city is considered by Hindus to be one of the most sacred places in India and has, perhaps, the only existing temple in Asia, dedicated to Lord Brahma. Life in the city is very much related to the Pushkar Lake. Mythology says that this ancient lake was formed when a lotus flower fell in the valley from the hands of Brahma.

The famous Pushkar fair is held every year on the Kartik purnima day. This fair is famous as a Bazaar for the animals particularly the Camels. But the folk dancers and the folk musicians add traditional colour in the fair, which gives a new leash of life to the town.
