Events in Pushkar
Pushkar is one of India's oldest pilgrimage towns, set around a holy lake on the edge of the desert. Its resorts and heritage stays suit intimate weddings, spiritual ceremonies and wellness retreats, within easy reach of Jaipur.
Getting there
- By air: Jaipur International Airport is about 145 km away (around three hours). Kishangarh Airport is closer, with limited flights.
- By rail: Ajmer Junction, about 15 km away, has frequent trains to Jaipur and Delhi.
- By road: About 145 km from Jaipur via Ajmer.
With its ghats, its temples — including one of the very few dedicated to Lord Brahma — and the annual Pushkar fair, the town has a distinctive spiritual character. Around it, resorts and camps on the fringe of the desert host celebrations with a calmer, more personal feel.
Pushkar is a sacred town, and that shapes event planning: non-vegetarian food and alcohol are not served in the town, so menus and bar plans depend on each venue's location and permissions. We check these for every venue before you commit.
Best time of year
October to March. The Pushkar fair, held around October or November, brings crowds and higher rates — magical for some events, impractical for others.
