About Savitri Temple & Ropeway
The temple to Savitri, first wife of Brahma, stands on Ratnagiri hill above Pushkar, where she is said to have retreated in anger after Brahma married Gayatri. The climb is about an hour on old steps; the ropeway opened in 2016 and takes six minutes. People go for sunrise or sunset over the lake and the dunes, and the view is the real reason.
What to see and do
- Sunrise over Pushkar lake from the top
- The ropeway or the hour-long climb
- Savitri and Gayatri shrines
- Dunes and the Aravalli to the west
Part of Aravalli.
