Pushkar

Pushkar was the first stop, being the three of us, in a Hindu holy city. The daily rituals include to wash themselves in the holy water of the ponds and pray for the health of their families. Brahman people help with the so called "Pooja" asking for a donation.

The atmosphere on the streets of Pushkar and nearby the lakeside temples (so called "Ghats") is very special. Here it's only allowed to walk barefoot. With tons of cow dung everywhere it was an exciting adventure. One of our highlights was to watch the sunset from a rooftop with a view to the lake. Thanks to the famous Lungi Dance I finally learned some Bollywood moves in a dance academy :)Baca lagi
