Brahma Temple
जगतपिता ब्रह्मा मंदिर
One of the very few temples in India dedicated to Brahma, the god of creation. Its red spire and swan carvings make it Pushkar's landmark.
Brahma Temple (Jagatpita Brahma Mandir) in its present form dates from around the 14th century. Its red spire and the swan statues at the gate, Brahma's mount, stand out. The inner sanctum houses a four-faced image of Brahma. According to legend, Savitri's curse meant Brahma would be worshipped only in Pushkar, which made the temple a major pilgrimage site. Visitors must remove their shoes and leave phones, cameras and leather goods in the cloakroom. Photography is prohibited inside. Admission is free. The temple closes around 13:30-15:00 at midday.
