The word Pushkar is a combination of 2 Sanskrit words: Pushpa (Flower) and Kar (Hand). As per the belief, as a Lotus Petal fell at this place from the Hands of Lord Brahma, it is called Pushkar. It is a Town bordering on the Thar Desert in Rajasthan state. The heart and soul of this town consist of Pilgrims coming to Pushkar on a pilgrimage.

Brahma Temple
The fascinating Brahma Temple is built with marble and stones. As per the legend, Lord Brahma slew a demon named Vajranabha.

As Savitri was not there, Lord Brahma decided to marry Gayatri and performed the Yagna with her. On seeing this, Goddess Savitri cursed Brahma that he wouldn’t be worshipped at any other place apart from Pushkar.
Pushkar Lake

The poet King Sawai Pratap Singh built this palace of winds. This is easily the most well-known landmark of Jaipur and is also its icon. This five-storey building overlooking the busy bazaar street is a fascinating example of Rajput architecture and artistry with its delicately honeycombed 953 pink sandstone windows known as 'jharokhas'. It was originally built for the ladies of the royal household to watch everyday life and processions in the city from their veiled comfort.

City Palace
Located in the heart of the walled city, the City Palace Complex gives you an idea about the farsightedness of the founder of Jaipur Maharaja Sawai Jai Singh II. He left behind a legacy of some of the ‘most imposing and magnificent architecture in the city.

The palace is a blend of Mughal and Rajput architecture and the ex-royal family still lives in a part of the palace.

Jantar Mantar
The Jantar Mantar is a collection of architectural astronomical instruments, built by Maharaja (King) Jai Singh II between 1727 and 1734.

The Elephants look beautiful as the mahouts (the person who drives the elephants) decorate them, especially the trunk, with floral and geometric patterns using colored chalk and powders.
Amber Fort
The Amber Fort set in picturesque and rugged hills is a fascinating blend of Hindu and Mughal architecture. Constructed by Raja Man Singh I in 1592 and completed by Mirja Raja Jai Singh, the fort was made in red sandstone and white marble. Amber is the classic and romantic fort-palace with a magnificent aura. The interior wall of the palace depicts expressive painting scenes with carvings, precious stones, and mirror settings.

Nidhivan Temple
