Ajmer is a popular pilgrimage centre for both Muslims and Hindus, with the Dargah Sharif-tomb of the Sufi saint Khwaja Moinuddin Chisti being equally revered by adherents of the two faiths. Ajmer is also the location of the prestigious Mayo College, an exclusive fee-paying boarding school that dates from the British Raj. Just 14km from Ajmer is the picturesque lakeside town of Pushkar, which has one of the few remaining temples dedicated to the god, Brahma. The lake itself is a sacred spot for Hindus and is situated on the edge of the desert. The town’s narrow alleys are flanked by whitewashed houses with rooftop restaurants and shops selling accessories. Pushkar is renowned for its cattle fair held in the Hindu month Kartika, which is normally in October-November. The town becomes jam-packed with tourists from almost everywhere who bring with them several camels and cattle to the pilgrimage. Pushkar is a very important scared centre for devout Hindus and many take a dip in the holy waters. Redeem informationVoucher type: Printed and e-VoucherPrinted voucher or E-voucher.
