Pushkar, the quiet little town of eastern Rajasthan, is located 13 km from Ajmer, on the edge of a small & beautiful lake. Pushkar is a city of 400 temples and 52 bathing ghats. Pushkar prides itself on being the site of the only temple of the Hindu God of Creation, Brahma. Every November, the sleepy little township of Pushkar in Rajasthan, India comes alive with a riot of colors & a frenzied burst of activity. One of the attractions is a visit to the Savitri Temple. In this photo women walk briskly to begin the climb up to the Savitri. This renowned shrine is named after Savitri the first wife of Lord Brahma.
