- Ajmer - Ajmer is renowned for Mayo College, often referred to as the “Eton of the East.” Recognized as one of the world’s premier boarding schools, it was established by the 6th Earl of Mayo with the aim of educating the children of India’s elite, particularly the princes of the princely states. The iconic white building is a must-see for its remarkable architecture. Its alumni are distinguished across various fields in India.
- Brahma Temple - After visiting Ajmer, the journey continues to Pushkar, approximately 8 miles away.
Legend has it that Pushkar was created when Lord Brahma, the Creator, dropped a lotus flower (pushpa) from his hand (kar) onto the earth. At the three locations where the petals fell, water miraculously emerged in the desert, forming three small blue lakes. On the shores of the largest lake, Brahma is said to have gathered around 900,000 celestial beings – the entire Hindu pantheon. During the auspicious full-moon period of October and November, its waters are believed to purify the soul of all impurities, attracting pilgrims from across the nation. Like many markets in Rajasthan, the Pushkar market is a vibrant blend. It offers a wide range of items from small souvenirs to exquisite leather bags and boots, unique silverware and jewelry, to colorful lamp shades and clothing. From Pushkar, the journey returns to Jaipur.

Explore the twin cities of Ajmer and Pushkar, situated just 8 miles apart, southwest of Jaipur. Ajmer is revered as one of the most sacred sites in India for Muslims, while Pushkar holds immense significance for Hindus. Ajmer is renowned for the holy Ajmer Sharif Dargah, a key Islamic shrine globally. A short drive away, Pushkar, with its over 500 temples, offers a fascinating Hindu experience. The town centers around its serene lake, featuring ghats (stepped terraces), havelis (private mansions), and temples, all beautifully whitewashed along the lake’s edge. Some areas of Pushkar evoke the atmosphere of Rajasthan’s Varanasi, India’s sacred city on the Ganges River.
