Your first stop would be Brahma Temple; ancient structure dates to 2000 years old but current structure believed to be constructed in 14th century. It’s only a temple across the world that’s been dedicated to Lord Brahma, hence holds special place among Hindu devotees. The temple is made of marble and stone stabs.

At noon time you would be availing lunch at a local Indian restaurant.

Your next place of arrival would be Pushkar Lake, one that’s believed to be originated from lotus that fell on the earth. Your guide would tell you how it serves as a bathing spot during Karthik Poornima, a full-moon night where devotees dive in the lake to wash their sins.

At evening you would also be able to see traditional Aarti that’s part of ceremony on the bank of Pushkar Lake. Your guide would be guiding you how it’s been performed and its religious significance.

At the end of tour you would be dropped off back at your hotel.
