Pushkar Tirtha
Pushkar Tirtha, nestled in the quiet village of Ponkar Kheri, is a site of great antiquity and is often linked to the more famous Pushkar in Rajasthan. According to the Padma Purana and local Haryanvi tradition, this tirtha was founded by Lord Parshurama, the sixth avatar of Lord Vishnu. It is beli eved that worshiping the gods and ancestors here yields the same merit as performing the Ashvamedha Yagya (a grand Vedic horse sacrifice). The site is dedicated to the trinity of Brahma, Vishnu, and Mahesh, but it holds a special place for Lord Brahma. The central feature is a large holy tank, the waters of which are said to have curative properties for skin ailments. Many believe that the original Saraswati river once flowed near this region, adding to its spiritual sanctity. Unlike the bustling Rajasthan counterpart, this Pushkar offers a meditative and raw spiritual experience, free from heavy commercialization. The temple complex is surrounded by ancient trees and small shrines that have stood the test of time. Pilgrims visit this spot to seek blessings for family prosperity and to honor the legendary deeds of Parshurama. It remains an essential stop for anyone following the 48 Kos Kurukshetra pilgrimage path.
