The lake, situated on the edge of the desert and surrounded by hills on the three sides, is separated from Ajmer by 'Nag Pahar'- the snake mountain. On this mountain the Panchkund and the cave of saint Agastya are located. It is believed that Kalidasa- the 4^th century Sanskrit poet and playright, chose the setting for his masterpiece 'Abhigyana Shakuntalam' in his forest heritage. According to legend, the origin of Pushkar dates back to the time when Lord Brahma was on his way in search of a tranquil land to perform a 'yagna'.

A lotus fell from the hand of the Lord into this valley. A lake sprang up on this spot and was dedicated to him. A Brahma temple located here is a popular place of pilgrimage.
