Pushkar
This
is the only temple in the world where Lord Brahma is worshiped and
the main attraction of Pushkar. The temple has a special position
in Hindu pantheons. There is life-size four-armed idol of Lord Brahma
- the creator in the vestibule. The temple has marble floors and stairs
and coins have been put by the devotees to mark the birth or deaths
of the loved ones. 
The Pushkar Lake is considered highly sacred by the Hindus. There
are 52 flight of steps leading to the lake which are called ghats.
According to legend, many gods like Lord Brahma, Lord Vishnu and Lord
Shiva had appeared on the ghats. Guru Gobind Singh had also recited
the Guru Granth Sahib on the ghats. A holy dip in the waters of Pushkar
Lake is believed to cleanse all sins and offer salvation. Offerings
of coins, coconut and flowers are also made at the time of holy dip.
It may be mentioned that during Kartik Purnima, people throng Pushkar
in large numbers for holy dip. 
Pushkar
adorns an altogether new look during the animal fair held in the Hindu
month of Kartik (October-November). The fair is held for a duration
of one week on the banks of holy Pushkar lake. For the participant
villagers who lead a difficult life in the arid deserts, the fair
comes as a whiff of fresh air.
