The timeless saga of the temple

Savitri Temple isn't just a monument of marble and stone but a repository of myths and memories that stretch back through the mists of time. This sacred sanctuary, reconstructed in the early 20th century by the Bangar family, cradles within its walls an ancient secret: an idol of Goddess Savitri dating back to the 7th century AD. But the temple's story reaches even further into the past. The Skandpuran (an ancient holy text) whispers a tale of that unfolded on the banks of Pushkar Lake. Picture Lord Brahma, poised to perform a sacred ritual, anxiously awaiting his consort Savitri. As the auspicious moment teetered on the brink of passing, Brahma made a fateful decision, taking another bride to complete the ceremony. When Savitri finally arrived, her heart heavy with disappointment and her eyes flashing with fury, she uttered a powerful curse—Brahma would be worshipped only in Pushkar. That's why the aarti (sacred ritual) is performed first in Savitri Temple and then in Brahma Temple.
