Sacred Waters of Pushkar Lake

Right in the heart of the town lies the mystical Pushkar Lake. Surrounded by 52 ghats, it’s believed that a dip in its waters washes away sins and brings spiritual peace.

Pilgrimage and Rituals

  • Morning Aarti: Begin your day with the peaceful aarti at Varah Ghat or Gau Ghat
  • Holy Dip: On Kartik Purnima, thousands gather to bathe in the lake’s waters
  • Prayer Offerings: Offer flowers, diyas, and chant mantras for blessings

The lake’s sacred aura creates a quiet contrast to the fair’s lively vibe. It’s the spiritual heartbeat of Pushkar.
