Information that Pushkar Pushkar is one of only 10 005 thousand population of the town, may be it is the people I saw in India, the largest and most lively place. The Pushkar Camel Festival Pushkar Camel Fair hotel is not good during the set, to the Camel's last day of the November 13, I arrived in Pushkar. The camel festival that will less the last day, did not think much of beyond my expectations.
Pushkar is no train station, the nearest train station from Ajmer to Pushkar Jet Mel needs a half hour drive. Mel in Adger bus to Pushkar, I felt the warm atmosphere of Pushkar. So many people on the train, not many years ago to squeeze the car in Beijing, exercise, do not really got on the car. The atmosphere is very warm inside. On the road, there have been created in India cried out the name of God, Brahma Brahma, the whole car go along with everyone cheered, with admiration felt. I do not understand what they are called,cheap UGG boots, the only understood the name of Brahma.
a question privately, before we know, is now at the Kartik Purnima in India during the Lunar New Year, Kartik is India's eighth lunar month, and Purnima is the full moon in the lunar day in August full moon day. India's lunar month are the most sacred in the Hindu month of Hindus is that a few days before the full moon lunar month Kartik Purnima, will be celebrated for several days, while the full moon day, it is a celebration of the climax. November 13 is just the full moon day, no wonder so exuberant.
Pushkar Lake
legend every full moon this month, there will be holy water falling from the sky Rupushenka the lake, the lake this hour The holy water is the most spiritual. In this hour to shower once a few years to be better than usual practice. So on this day, people all over India flock to Pushkar, in the full moon night, a Hindu religious ceremony to be held, and then to the lakes in the shower, hoping to wash away sin, to seek relief, visit the Hindu creation god Brahma Temple is the day people must do.
on Kartik Purnima to have such a legend, said to be close to a universal card, the king of the Grand Duchy to Pushkar to hunting. Tired to rest in the Pushkar lake, he drinking water in the lake to quench their thirst, but also for bathing in the lake. He reached one into the water, his hand was cursed and suffer from serious skin completely better. News spread to the nearby lake, the people came to bathe, the water cure their illness, relieve their worries, even as they left a place in heaven. This has led to heaven gradually become crowded. So god Brahma to reconsider his appeal to the functions given to lakes. Follow the recommendations of the god Brahma, announced a reduction lakes of the skill, provides for an annual Lunar New Year only a few days before the full moon in August, that is, during the Kartik Purnima, lakes was the most skill. So now, most Hindus want during the Kartik Purnima, the full moon night in particular, to lakes in the shower.
got off to see the flow of people everywhere between, feels like a finish just like the Olympic Games. Public buses are not allowed to stop the bus terminus to the original, and only 500 meters outside the park to another private car park. I followed the flow of rolling slowly forward. The crowd that many of the villagers of Rajasthan, the villagers mostly men keep mustache, wearing a white robe, loose trousers legs and crotch, between his legs that also pocket a piece of cloth, as if like baby diapers (with Foreigners call Diaper pants), accompanied by colorful shawls, and their heads wrapped around pink, red, yellow or orange scarf, dress is a bright spot, feet pointed ship a lot of shoes, some wear 拉贾斯坦特Some people also carrying a large lawn with a wooden plug. And women are wearing floor-length dress, gorgeous eye-catching colors, many of them are green, pink and yellow, some blindfolded with a scarf cheeks, many women with nose rings, earrings and bracelets, some people still head of the bundle of sugar cane . Along the way, watching their colorful clothing is a visual feast.

Pushkar Rajasthan streets filled with stalls selling all kinds of goods, so that the streets should not have even more wide- narrow. Many busy section of the uplink and downlink dedicated a special wooden fence separated, many holding sticks police to maintain order in the intersection. Because too many people, sometimes to catch up after a cow, or a cart over, we crowded together to escape to, when the pushing, and some people still screaming. I think this year, Jodhpur Chamunda Devi temple were trampled to death events, can not help a bit nervous, I secretly aiming around a good environment for the emergency to find a good escape route.
had to set my small hotel only fifteen minutes or so, due to parked far away, unfamiliar with road road congestion, and even the tape asking, I have a whole section of track for nearly an hour to go . Finally to my small hotel, hotel room not only full, on the second floor of the platform, but also take the three tents. It looks at the camel festival if it does not pre-booking, to the real trouble here.
is already the end of a camel festival, various competitions and performances is over, but I went to the camel festival held in the venue looked. Camel Festival in Pushkar at locations south of the Thar Desert Thar Desert on the edge of the desert, great venue, despite its end, but I have not had time to remove the tents that range, or to imagine that 50,000 camels and other livestock trade flourishing here. When I went to see is those who do not sell camels, camels who were wearing number, hung all sorts of beautiful decorations, but also see a lot of beautiful horses. As is the last day, the villagers are busy packing, ready to ride a tractor and camel car and left, the local villagers who loves to eat sugar cane, sugar cane field in the head around to see the colorful clothing of women dressed.

Rajasthan Camel Festival venues farmers have had the edge of the square stands Mela Ground, said many of the holiday games is held here, when I went to the awards ceremony has just ended. Square next to a big playground, there are a variety of recreational programs and acrobatic shows, a playground where there are three optical Ferris wheel as much as many people may still have to queue before they can ride. Amusement park rides have do a lot of colorful, with the loudspeakers to attract customers, very noisy. Floating in the sky also several large balloons.
Camel Festival and the playground are in the desert, thousands of people walking the dusty, sand storms worse than our lot. Before long, the shoes can not see the color come. Dust in the air all the taste, fortunately I have a block the sun sets with the neck, just pull up the cover mouth and nose. Camel Festival street scene and the universal card garbage everywhere, everywhere on earth and sugar cane waste paper, as well as India made special to eat curry with lotus leaf meal with a one-time small bowl, like the indiscriminate disposal of fallen leaves in the snack stand next to no time to clean. As the dust big, the camera lens will fall on a layer of dust.
streets filled with stalls selling various items, array of goods, food and clothes, handicraft products, copper products, ceramic products, everything. Many stalls selling beautiful waist knife, dagger, sword and shield, manual is fine. Number of stalls selling camel decorations, I eye-opening. Are all businessmen and artisans gather in Pushkar at this time, tooth extraction, and Taoer Duo, and sharpening, and tattoos, magic, and fortune-telling, the musicians, full of wonders. As Camel is also a religious event, so buy flowers, buy paint business is very good.

boat shoes also look at the street to many dressed in orange robes of the monk Saddhu, their faces painted with red and white strange patterns, hand Dagou Gun, and some will give money to invite you to take pictures. Some wore black clothes of the gypsy girl covered in sequins, colorful face painting, dancing in the streets. The Pushkar camel festival in India and foreign hippie hippie paradise.
in Pushkar, Brahma Temple is the most famous temple, the temple is located in Pushkar, a high-side slope in Hubei, with marble steps leading to the temple. Like the hill to see Miao Menqian discarded shoes, I put the shoes carefully in front of stalls there. The temple covers an area of small, caused so much of the believers for a time, it is extremely crowded. This temple was first built in the 15th century, but now this is being wiped away by the Mughal dynasty, and later rebuilt.

sign a swan, the swan is the mount of Brahma, Brahma is also a Hindu temple in the temple with the other significant difference. From the entrance to the courtyard, underground box are covered with checkered tiles, ceramic tiles on the silver-studded, silver below also engraved the names of donors. A bell stand in front of the main hall, above a small brass bell. A silver turtle on the ground the statue, facing the temple of the Holy Sepulchre. Turtle on its back a lot of red paint.
the lower part of the main building of the temple is a temple of white marble pedestal, above the blue pillars supporting the vestibule, the temple spire at the top of the dome and minarets are red, the color of the whole temple seems very bright. Silver shrine in the temple, there is a statue of Brahma, the Brahma statue sitting cross-legged, four faces are moving in four different directions. A small statue of the milk goddess Gayatri, the Brahma statue stood silently next to. Next to the temple's main hall, there is a half basement, which houses the statue of Shiva.
Brahma, though one of three major gods of Hinduism, but in India, temples dedicated to him very little. The reason is the Padma Purana in Hindu scriptures such records, the creation of God in Pushkar Brahma ready for his long run around the lake held a grand ritual, the gods were invited to attend. But this ritual is no spouse present can not be completed. So Brahma asked people to inform the goddess of wisdom, his wife Savitri, because do not recognize the importance of this ritual, Savitri not in a hurry after receiving the notice, but the busy make-up and selection of clothes. Hour is coming, Savitri did not occur. Brahma was in a hurry, let the god of thunder and lightning to find a location to place the spouse of Savitri. God of thunder from the local to find a milking maid, but she is a Dalit, in order to purify her, the god of thunder from the cow's mouth her into them, then head out from the other, and give her the name of Gayatri. So in the immortal Brahma party B when married Gayatri,UGG boots cheap, a grand ritual also can be carried out smoothly.
Soon, Brahma's wife Savitri grateful to the gods in, accompanied by his wife arrived Pushkar to see another woman instead of her position, she was furious. Curse of Brahma in Pushkar from outside are not the people's worship, that is Pushkar, the day of the year was dedicated to only five days. Savitri, infuriated, went to the Pushkar near the Ratnagiri hill, where he settled. Read this description, I think India is not God as our God, our God is supreme, India is more close to life. They have emotions, a spouse,UGG boots clearance, you can also marry two-bedroom, interesting.
evening when the little side streets, especially streets, everywhere you can smell the smell of smoke, a lot of sleeping villagers began to light a fire to cook. Streets full of festive atmosphere, large temples are colorful lighting installed, well looked under the lights of the temple did not look like temples, but rather one of the restaurant or entertainment center. Steady stream of flow is not due to changes in the weather have any fade. Brahma is still crowded the streets near the temple, B Brahma temple is still bustling with customers, Pushkar holy lake every major step in the door more and more people.
night Pushkar lake is filled with light shining, a beacon light in the reflection of the lake formed in a trance. Lake beautiful melody from time to time came the religious songs, ring tones and drums to do ritual also lingering sound without a break. Full moon rising in the sacred moment, thousands of Indians wearing colorful traditional costumes,UGG bailey button, quiet along the ladder, and slowly walked into the lake, side of the bath, while a silent prayer. Shore, the lights and do sacrifice and Huozhu, rose petals floating in the water and the water one candle lights, constitute a special landscape pieces.
landlord suggested I am going to see a nearby hilltop Savitri temple Ratnagiri, this is the first wife of Brahma, Savitri temple of the goddess of wisdom, he said there is to see the sunrise, and bird's eye view Pashtoon Ziska card is the best location. Sunrise in mid-November time is 7 o'clock, my 6 lit before dawn to start climbing the hill 700 meters high, not too steep mountain road, the road there are some fluorescent tubes directions. Slowly without an hour to reach the summit. They all have a lot of followers from afar, barefoot hiking, I admire the spirit of it. To the top of the temple, there have been many followers worship the.
Savitri temple, whether from the outside to the inside are very simple, any one of Pushkar temple town than it is to be beautiful. Building the temple, there is a statue of the goddess Savitri, who donate money to see some walls carved in the wall tiles. Although simple, Savitri temple in Pushkar reputation remains high. Many married women, particularly women in the region of Bangladesh, prefer to go to this temple to pray, pray for blessing the goddess Savitri, are permanent and happy marriage.

simple, but I regret a little mountain climbing so early go to the temple that day did not see the sunrise until 8:00 later in a nearby hill before the sun had his face exposed, from the hills overlooking the Pushkar to not imagine the kind of beauty, although able to universal card panoramic view, also saw another nearby lake, and the camel festival venues, as well as the reception of Western tourists, built rows of beautiful white tent. But the whole seems to be a Pushkar shrouded in smoke, the sky seems very low, the scenery is very clear, do not know too many people in the camel arrived here during the festival period, the reason the dust off too much. Mountain climbing trees to see the road is actually very characteristic, full of vicissitudes sense. Savitri temple near the bad guy a lot of monkeys, the monkeys a bit like Pushkar lake counterfeit priest on the steps, if your kind to feed them, will be difficult to get out.

Interestingly, the Pushkar bus stop opposite the post office behind a hill, there is a section dedicated to Brahma two wife Gayatri temple, this temple is to see Ziska white one of the best sunset. Go to this temple from the Pushkar town, just half an hour. Gayatri and Savitri temple hill where the temple is the Pushkar near two of the most significant high ground, two temple distant sea, while also overlooking the panoramic view and the Brahma Temple Pushkar, this arrangement does not know What does it mean.
Gayatri temple
Although Pushkar is a holy city, vegetarian, alcohol smoking, steps away from the lakes are not allowed to wear shoes within 10 meters. There are signs the lake, requiring visitors to comply with the local people's religious habits. However, a small step in the vicinity, I witnessed more than once to see the Indians, from the lakes in the vicinity and did not take off your shoes. There are few times you see the village of Rajasthan, make up a pile of smoked marijuana, it seems the holy city is not perfect.
very tough if not the priest, Pushkar Lake is definitely a good place to watch the sunset. But where the main steps of the donation box there are too many, too many The next day, I sat in the lake a rooftop restaurant, is a universal card in front of the lake, the sun sets and the white house to the lake and the temples are covered with a layer of gold, also offset from the hustle and bustle of the lake . The steps are from my recent groups of pigeons and cows leisurely God, I hear faint music coming from the Hindu and drums, watching the sun slowly disappeared over the hill.
left Pushkar same crowded bus, went to great lengths on a bus, waited a full half-hour later, they are both people in the car suddenly went off squeeze another car, turned out to be Zheliang not opened. I do not have strength and Indians crowded. See the side of the road a jeep, then stepped forward to ask the driver said to the Jet Mel fifty rupees, and I sat next to the driver that drove immediately, I thought it was preferential treatment of foreigners, because the look to the back compartment has been very crowded. Han again three Sikh thought, the driver asked the two to sit in the front, to sit in front of a row of four people, how can squeeze can be high. Then the driver let me sit riding gear, this put the car into two Sikh Han. The driver was driving side the body, between his legs hanging in my file, he drove very fast, while also chatting, looking a bit like a circus, but the driver seemed to take for granted. I counted back, a similar size as our Honda CRV's a Jeep, actually mounted a full 18 people.
