"Pushkar (Hindi: पुष्कर ) is a town in the state of Rajasthan in India. Pushkar means born due to a flower. Hindus believe that the gods released a swan with a lotus in its beak and let it fall on earth where Brahma would perform a grand yagna. The place where the lotus fell was called Pushkar. It is situated at 14 km North West from Ajmer and is one of the five sacred dhams (pilgrimage sites for devout Hindus.) It is often called "Tirth Raj" - the king of pilgrimage sites - and has in recent years become a popular destination for foreign tourists.

Pushkar is one of the oldest cities of India. The date of its actual origin is not known, but legend associates Lord Brahma with its creation. It is mentioned that Brahma performed penance here for 60,000 years to have glimpse of Radha Krishna." [link]

This looks like it should be a postcard! What a fantastic shot. So much personality and very rich with colors and patterns.

I hope you don't mind I featured this in my journal. [link] Trying to spread some great art work on DA. If you'd prefer, I can take it down but I wanted to let you know I like your work.
