The temple is one amongst only a few existing temples dedicated to the Hindu creator-god Brahma in India and remains the foremost outstanding among them.Although this temple structure dates to the fourteenth century, the temple is believed to be 2000 yearsprevious. The temple is principally designed of marble and stone stabs. it's a definite red pinnacle (shikhara) and a hamsa bird motif.

Savitri conjointly cursed Indra to be simply defeated in battles,Hindu deity to suffer the separation from his mate as somebody's, the fire-god Agni United Nations agency was offered the yajna to be omnivorous and also the clergymen refereeing the yajna to be poor. endued with by the powers of yajna, Gayatri diluted Savitri's curse, blessing Pushkar to be the king of
