From Jaipur and about 13kms. from Ajmer, with a population of about 19745, is one of the most visited pilgrimage place in India. Impregnated with myths and legends, the hallowed land of Pushkar is the cynosure of all eyes, whether it's the pilgrims or the vacationers, in Rajasthan. It's truly a worthwhile experience to visit the town which was, at one time, a favourite retreat of the Mughal rulers, before the dynasty witnessed its decline and fell into the hands of the Scindias. And unlike most of the cities, Pushkar was finally handed over to the British. According to a legend, there took place a combat between Lord Brahma and demon Vajra Nabh.
