Pushkar Fair History |
 |
Pushkar is a fantastic interplay of history and mythology that makes it worthwhile to travel to this holy destination ofRajasthan.
One thing is clear that most of them are associated with Lord Brahma. According to lore, It is said that in a battle, Lord Brahma killed the demon Vajra Nabh with a lotus flower, Those petals floated down to earth and landed in three places in and around Pushkar. And the lakes sprang up.
According to another lore, back in a legendary time, Lord Brahma was flying over the Rajasthan desert on his swan, when some petals fell from his hand and drifted down. Miraculously, blue lakes sprang up where the flowers had touched the soft sands. Just then, Lord Brahma realized that this was the auspicious moment to perform a fire sacrifice or yagna. His wife Savitri was not with him at that time and the yagna would be incomplete without her. So Brahma married a local girl and sat down for the without her. Meanwhile Savitri landed on earth and upon finding this new bride sitting next to Brahma, she was raged with fury and cursed him that he would never be worshipped anywhere else on earth. Ever since then, when the full moon shines on Poornima during the autumn period of kartik, the desert tribes meet to commemorate this epic event. It is interesting to note that Brahma is not worshipped, even though he is one of the Holy Trinity of Hinduism.
