Pushkar, Rajasthan
Pushkar Lake is one of India's five sacred lakes (Panch Sarovar), surrounded by 52 bathing ghats and over 500 temples including the rare Brahma Temple. The chalk-white temples, colorful ghats, and the Aravalli hills in the background create a unique spiritual-romantic atmosphere. Early morning fog over the lake with priests performing puja and the rising sun behind the hills is particularly cinematic.
11 km from Ajmer. Buses and taxis available. No vehicles allowed near the lake.
