Brahma Temple
Temple · 45 minutesOne of very few Brahma temples in the world.
Pilgrimage town · Rajasthan
A small temple town around a sacred lake, best known for the November camel fair and for having one of the very few Brahma temples anywhere. It is compact enough to walk end to end in an afternoon and most travellers stop for a night on the way between Jaipur and Jodhpur rather than making a separate trip of it. The town is vegetarian and alcohol-free by custom, which surprises people who have not been told.
What to see
One of very few Brahma temples in the world.
Remove shoes at the ghats. Beware unofficial "priests" charging for blessings.
Ropeway or a steep climb. Sunrise over the lake is the reason.
