By Indian standards Pushkar is a small and peaceful place. It is set on the banks of a holy lake and has many temples, including the only one dedicated to the Hindu god Brahma in the whole of India. Strolling through the bazaar street on the shore of the lake is fun, and the views over the lake and the surrounding desert from one of the hilltop temples are well worth the climb. Now we know where the Beatles picked up 'Hari Krishna' from (at 3 am!!) Two days however was too long for us and another day could have been more profitably spent elsewhere! Hari Krishna!
