Picturesque Twins : AJMER & PUSHKAR

A winter visit to Ajmer, and neighbouring Pushkar, is a well recommended outing for a week or so. Set on the North-eastern part of Rajasthan, these destinations give you the taste of the subtle Sufi Muslim culture of Ajmer Sharif, as well as, an insight into the only Brahma temple in the world, at Pushkar. Natural beauty galore, these destinations, with their somewhat sparse populations (by Indian standards), turn out to be ideal holidaying destinations with family and friends…

The ARV group’s island in the Anasagar lake at Ajmer : breathtaking…
This man-made lake is spread over 13 kms and was built by Arnoraja, the grandfather of Prithviraj Chauhan…
The mighty Pelicans are found in fair numbers in Anasagar lake
Fishing breakfast : Pelican in the Anasagar lake…
Fishermen, whiling away their time, waiting for their fishing nets to get heavier…
Pushkar town : a treat of sorts…
