Brahma Temple Pushkar History
Mythology suggests that when Lord Brahma saw the demon Vajranabha who was trying to kill his children and was harassing people, he slew the demon with his the lotus-flower weapon and when the lotus petals fell, they landed on three places that were turned to three lakes: the Jyeshta Pushkar, the Madhya Pushkar Lake, and Kanishta Pushkar Lake.
When Lord Brahma came to the earth, he named this place as Pushkar which is an amalgamation of the words Push (flower) and Kar (hands). Thus, since the place became the most significant place for the followers of Lord Brahma.
Lord Brahma wanted to perform a Yagya at the Pushkar Lake and to peacefully perform this yagya without any interruptions from the demons who wanted to stop the yagya, he created hills around Pushkar and positioned the Gods to protect this yagya from any evil forces. Since his wife Savitri could not be around during the yagya, Brahma married a Gurjar girl named Gayatri and then completed his yagya with Gayatri holding the Amrit pot on her head.
When Savitri arrived and found Gayatri sitting next to Lord Brahma she cursed Lord Brahma that he will never be worshiped and later reduced this curse then permitting his worship only in Pushkar. Thus, Brahma Temple Pushkar is the only temple that is dedicated to Brahma and holds a special place in Hinduism and among the holy men of the country.
