It is considered to be one of the five sacred dhams of Hindus. The other four dhams are Badrinath, Puri, Rameswaram, and Dwarka.

Thousands of Hindus come to Pushkar from across the world to take a dip in the holy waters of Pushkar Lake. According to Hindu calendar it is celebrated in the month of Kartik i.e. in the months of November and December. The last day of the fair (Kartik Poornima) is the most important day for the pilgrims. It is believed that this was the day when God Brahma sprung up the Pushkar Lake.

Pushkar houses one of the few Brahma temples in the world and the lake surrounding this temple attracts numerous devotees from all over the world.
