Savitri Mata Temple
सावित्री माता मंदिर
A temple on the summit of Ratnagiri Hill, reached on foot or by cable car. From the top, you can watch the sunrise over Pushkar Lake and the desert panorama.
Savitri Temple is dedicated to Savitri, the wife of Brahma, and sits on the summit of Ratnagiri Hill to the south of the town. The climb involves about 700 steps and takes 40-60 minutes on foot. Alternatively, a cable car takes about 5 minutes (round trip about INR 200). From the top you can see the whole of Pushkar, the holy lake and the surrounding dunes. Sunrise and sunset offer the finest views. Monkeys on the trail will snatch food, so be careful, and set out early in the morning in summer.
Opening hours
About 5:00am–7:00pm; cable car about 8:00am–7:00pm
