Savitri Temple
Kharekhari Rd, Pushkar, Rajasthan 305005
Savitri Temple is built on the top of a hill it is strenuous and hard to climb uphill but the views are wonderful and worthwhile. From the top of the hill the beautiful scenery of the surrounding lake and the landscape can be seen. The sand dunes that are found around the temple also attract the attention of the tourists. When Brahma performed the yajna at Pushkar, his wife Savitri could not reach the yajna in time. So Brahma performed the pooja with the help of a local girl, Gayatri – who then become the second wife of Brahma. This enraged Savitri and she sulked off to the hilltop. Then the agreement was made that Savitri would always be worshiped first. This tradition still continues, first the aarti is performed at Savitri temple and then at Gayatri temple. Idols of both Savitri and Gayatri are now installed at the Savitri temple. The marble architecture of the temple and the Brahma Temple makes both a popular draw amongst tourists.
