The Savitri temple in Pushkar is located on the Ratnagiri hill which is a popular pilgrimage site for the Hindus. The temple is dedicated to Goddess Savitri. It is a very strenuous work to climb on the hilltop but it is believed that the harder you work the more ‘Tapas’ is gained. In this temple, you will find the idols of both the wives of Lord Brahma named Savitri and Gayatri. But as per tradition Goddess, Savitri is always worshipped first and then prayers to Goddess Gayatri are offered. The visitors can either trek to the temple gates or take a ride in the cable cars which take passengers to the temple. The ropeway ride is really full of fun from where you can have an awesome view of the Pushkar city. However, many devotees prefer to climb 200 stairs leading to the shrine which they consider an important part of their pilgrimage to the place. The walk up from the base takes about fifteen minutes, although you may need a few breaks it is quite a steep incline of stairs. There is also a ropeway which is carriages that take you up the mountain on a cable. I’m not sure how much it costs but unless you are afraid of a short workout and some sweat I suggest the stairs. Keep an eye out for monkeys they were quite aggressive and had me on edge, ready for battle.
The Savitri Temple in Pushkar overlooks the entire town of Pushkar and all the surrounding valleys. The temple can be spotted while at the Pushkar Lake and the beauty is, the temple is only a fifteen-minute walk from the lake. It really is the most accessible and a great way to enjoy the view over the whole of Pushkar.

The Ajmer Jain temple, also known as Soniji Ki Nasiyan, is an architecturally rich Jain temple. It was built in the late nineteenth century. The main chamber, known as the Swarna Nagari “City of Gold”, has several gold-plated wooden figures, depicting several figures in the Jain religion. Greatly revered by the Digambar sect of the Jains, the Nasiyan temple is dedicated to Lord Rishabhdev, first of the 24 tirthankara by Rai Bahadur Seth Moolchand and Nemichand Soni. It is situated on Prithvi Raj Marg in Ajmer, the heart of Rajasthan state in India. The foundation of this magnificent Jain temple was laid on 10 October 1864 and the image of the first Tirthankar Lord Rishabhdev (Adinath), was installed in the Sanctum Sanctorum on 26 May 1865.  This work was carried out under the able guidance of the great scholar Pandit Sadasukhdasji of Jaipur. But the hidden gem in Ajmer is Soniji Ki Nasiyan aka Lal mandir that was built over 100+ years back by a rich Jain businessman or a Seth. What you see here is a huge hall 90 ft X 65 ft X 92 ft in dimension, with a diorama of a complete Jain city Ayodhya Nagari. At the time of the birth of a Jain saint Adinath. There is a complete 3 storied palace built with scenes depicting the life of the city. The huge armies of elephants and horses are depicted on the ground. There are devas or demigods on their planes coming to visit the earth at the city of Ayodhya made holy by the birth of the saint Adinath. The walls adorn the glass paintings showing scenes and stories from the Jain scriptures.

The whole aura is of grandeur, divinity, and celebration. It is said that the models were created and showcased in Jaipur before they were brought here. You can view this huge piece of sculpture only through a small opening in the walls of the hall. And that too through a glass. But for the security reasons, you want to step inside and feel like how a literally golden city would be. For some reason, I had never heard of this place until I actually landed in front of it. This was the hidden surprise of this trip of mine.

Located around the very funnily named ‘Nag Pahar’ or Snake Mountain in the Aravali Hills, Ajmer is an otherwise unattractive town and most travellers prefer to make a pit-stop on the way to Pushkar. Ajmer is said to have been founded in the 7th Century. Ajmer is home to the most sacred Islamic shrine in India, and for Muslims, a pilgrimage here is considered second in importance only to a visit to Mecca in Saudi Arabia.

Must Visit Places if You Have 24 Hours in Ajmer :

1- Khwaja Moinuddin Chishti Dargah or Dargah Sharif:

This 13th Century Dargah is the holiest Muslim shrine in India and is thronged by thousands of pilgrims every day. The slender path to the Dargah is lined with flower stalls and shops selling prayer paraphernalia, biryani shops to donate food to the poor and lanes that give the impression of having arrived in the 15th Century.

2- Taragarh Fort

Strategically located, Ajmer was a very important town and the 12th Century Fort of Taragarh was established by the town’s founder Ajaypal Chauhan.

It is in a crumbling state these days but still has fine views of Ajmer from the top with the Ana Sagar Lake providing a beautiful backdrop. Taragarh Fort is only 3-4 km away from Ajmer and can be accessed by shared taxis or by a 90-minute walk from the Dhai Din Ka Jhopda.

3- Dhai Din Ka Jhopda

Dhai din ka Jhopda, literally ‘two-and-a-half-day hut’, is unquestionably the oldest surviving monument in Ajmer. It was originally built in 660 AD as a Jain Temple and was converted into a Sanskrit School in 1153. Locals claim that the name has stuck because it was built in 2 & 1/2 days, but it seems more like a legend than truth. 

4- Akbar Fort & Museum

This was constructed in 1570 and was originally named Daulat Khana by Akbar. When the British were in power, they maintained a large garrison inside the fort. The Fort is important from a historical point of view, in 1660 the British got a toehold in India when Sir Thomas Roe, a representative of the British East India Company, met Emperor Jahangir and gained his permission to establish the first British factory at Surat, at this fort.

5- Ana Sagar Lake & Baradaris

The Ana Sagar is an artificial lake that spreads far and wide with the town of Ajmer. It was laid out in the twelfth century and is worth a visit to see the line of elegant white-marble pavilions called baradaris, or summer shelters. These were built in the 17th Century by Shah Jahan on the lake’s banks, in a garden by the name of Daulat Bagh.

6- Nasiyan (Red Temple) or Soni Ji Ki Nasiyan

Locally called ‘red temple’, Nasiyan was built in 1865 by a rich merchant. While the building is totally unassuming from the outside, when I ascended the stairs to the second floor I was taken aback by the sheer grandeur and golden opulence. It seemed like a fantasy world.

Lake Foy Sagar is an artificial lake situated near Ajmer in the state of Rajasthan, India. It is named after the engineer Mr. Foy, an Englishman, who created it under a famine relief project in 1892. He created it to tackle with harshest conditions of famine under a famine relief project. It appears flat and offers views of the neighboring Aravalli mountains. The lake is among the tourist spots of the city.

At the time when the lake was constructed, the city of Ajmer was known as Ajmere, as can be noticed from the inscription installed at the lake. Its original capacity is 15 million cubic feet, and the water is spread over 14,000,000 square feet (1,300,000 m2). Ajmer was called Ajmere when it was made with a specific purpose, which is now a well-known tourist spot. The place is a famous picnic spot for the local residents during winters.
