The Experience
Before You Go
Dress Respectfully
Temples require modest clothing—cover shoulders and knees and carry a scarf for quick coverage when entering shrines.
Bring a Refillable Water Bottle
Pushkar can be hot and dry; carry at least 1–2 liters and refill where available to avoid buying single‑use plastics.
Start Early or Late Afternoon
Early mornings and late afternoons are cooler and offer better light for photos; mid‑day is busiest at ghats and markets.
Carry Small Cash and Change
Many stalls and temple donations are cash‑based; small notes make purchases and offerings easier.
Local Knowledge
Hidden Gems

Conservation Note
Water levels in the lake are sensitive to seasonal rains and local extraction—avoid polluting ghats and use refillable bottles; support local conservation initiatives and respectful tourism.
Pushkar developed as a major pilgrimage center around its sacred lake and the rare Brahma Temple; its markets also grew from camel‑trade routes across Rajasthan.
