Pushkar Myths

29 kilometres from Ajmer, in the heart of the Thar Desert is a lake city called Pushkar. To the Hindus of the world, it is second in holiness only to Mansarovar. During the full moon in the month of Kartik, the town and the nearby dunes become an enormous fairground. Filmmaker Kamal SWAROOP explores the ancient myths and politicking of Indian Gods as the heavens descend and the water in the lake turns holy.
