Hindu's associate the creation of Pushkar with a mythological legend. It is believed that Lord Brahma was on his way to look for a abode when he accidentally dropped three petals from his sacred lotus, which when fell on Pushkar grounds created depressions that turned into lakes. Lord Brahma decided to have a yagna and had to marry a local girl to sit with him for the rituals as his consort could not arrive on time. When goddess Savitri reached the spot, she cursed Lord Brahma that he would not be worshipped anywhere else on Earth, except in Pushkar.
