Pushkar(India)

so...Pushkar..had to take a bus to get there..
this place is a pilgrimage place for Hindus in fact..
it has to do with the Hindu god Brahma..
Brahma was looking for a place..to do an offering..
while thinking..a lotus flower in his hand..lost its petals..
3 lakes were created from it..one of them was Pushkar lake..
I reached Pushkar..it was bloody hot..on the ghat's..one sees..
sadhus's or Hindus taking their ritual bath..I did the same..bwah..
it was so terribly hot that day..the Brahma temple is worthwhile..
a ghat is like steps where one can sit..leading to the water..
the ones in Benares=Varanasi..are world famous...
it's amazing..the amount of temples in this place..
during my previuos India trip..I became a bit of a temple freak..
amazing...how temples like this could have been built..
Pushkar is best known for its camel fair or market in november..
peasants,farmers,camels..a real trade..between Rajasthani tribals..
never witnessed this..I was there in september..during the 60-70's
lots of hippies visited this place..don't know why???
when I was there I seemed to be the only foreigner there??
scams again..some so called holy men..will offer a flower..
to be dropped in the holy lake..they put a red bindi on your forehead..
afterwards..they stretch their hands..and ask you for 100 roupies??
so..and then..these false dudes will predict your karma..ahah..yip..
double faced folks..always existed..nowadays..awww..don't tell me..
who's showing his real face??you??me??uhuh..did society forced us
to play chameleon games..I don't know..about that..
so..Pushkar..nice visit..but..I did not like the heat..
and the forced and false exploitation of a holy place..
I've seen that in Benares,Agra...well..all over in fact..
in my opinion..wrong...you know..the paisa=money game...
P.S..no photography was allowed of the ghats..and the ritual baths..
don't know..if today this rule changed??maybe..a money game again??
I went back for a 30 min.bus ride to Ajmer railway station..
if I recall well..I took a night train towards Jodhpur..
now..Jodhpur..nice town..known for these crazy chappals(sandals)
will tell you crazy peepers about all this..watch out..
click..click..click.. 44 pages of pictures here..go for it..
