Also known as Teerthraj (the king of pilgrimages) and home to (probably) the only Brahma temple in the world, the little township of Pushkar is dotted with hundreds of temples.

Little wonder then, that Sadhus (the enlightened God-men of India) are a dime-a-dozen. And they descend to Pushkar in droves during the Fair... in all shapes, sizes and colours!!!

Blessing or Curse? "May you be the mother of a thousand sons!"	God-man or con-man? An ash smeared Sadhu.
Mmmm... the water's nice 'n' cool This snapshot's been borrowed from Network's Rajasthan Diary	The Tree of Life Even Pushkar's trees are sacred.
