After a sweltering day yesterday, today broke with a cool breeze; chilly even. The monkeys have taken their perchs on the railings and edges of the hotel rooftop, grooming, stretching, babies nursing, while others try to get their mothers to pay attention to them. Now they nap in the early morning sun, except for the acrobatic babies.
The town clusters around Pushkar lake with the main street lined with shops, restaurants, and hotels. My hotel faces the lake and I have a lovely view. There's even a small temple on the rooftop, right outside my window.
As the epics say, Brahma dropped a lotus on the earth and Pushkar floated to the surface. It's a holy town with one of the worlds few Brahma temples. Fifty two bathing ghats surround the small sacred lake and you are allowed to wander on them if you remove your shoes and do not take photos.
