Pushkar is a town in the state of Rajasthan, India. Pushkar is one of the five sacred dhams.Pushkar has many temples. Most of the temples are not very old, since many were destroyed during Muslim conquests in the area. Subsequently, the destroyed temples were re-built.The most famous is the Brahma Temple, said to be the only temple in the world dedicated to this deity. It stands on a high plinth with the Marble steps leading up to it. A silver turtle is set on the floor facing the Sanctum-Sanctorum or Girbha-griha.Pushkar is perhaps best known for its Camel Fair which takes place here each October/November.
