Pushkar

Pushkar is one of five major Hindu pilgrimage sites in India, where devotees come to worship at the temple to Brahma, and bathe in the waters of Pushkar lake. There are over 50 ghats surrounding the lake - stepped areas where the deep green water laps at the marble steps - and we were lucky enough to stay at a guesthouse overlooking one (the room was also quite close to a public urinal, but hey...) The morning sunrise over the lake was stunning, and the monkeys that paraded across the rooftops of the city an added bonus...
