History

The Varaha temple in Pushkar honours Vishnu’s boar avatar, often missed beside the fame of Brahma’s shrine. Pushkar’s lake and ghats remain a pan-Hindu tirtha; Varaha completes the Dashavatara presence in the holy town.

Legends

• Varaha lifted the earth from the cosmic waters; a Pushkar tradition places that grace at this desert lake as well as at other Varaha kshetras.
