Pushkar, Rajasthan: from dawn till dusk, this sacred site arouses the senses. Visual opulence and intoxicating aromas seem to underline the power of faith in those who seek to purify their soul at the lakeside.
Nature is happy to play along with the legendary nature of the site: the roses only flourish on the lakeside so as to be able easily to offer their petals to the Lord Brahma, and the setting sun forms a vivid backdrop for the bewitching melodic strains from the faithful.
