Pushkar, Rajasthan (India)

25th June 2011:
Pushkar is a really cute little town located 4h west of Jaipur. It's a pilgrimage land with one of the world's few Brahma Temple (Brahma: Hindu god of creation). "According to the legend, Brahma dropped a lotus flower on earth and the sacred lake of Pushkar appeared". Pushkar has been built around the lake where hundreds of Hindus perform their prayers.

Would you trust this driver??? :-)

In the old city of Pushkar. 

This town was one of the quietest, a lot of streets were empty and there were no rickshaws (Indian tuk tuk).

Dumbo!?!?

The Brahma Temple.

Someones house. 

The sacred lake.

People at the ghats.

We went horse riding in the countryside around Pushkar.. not very confident at first but we got used to it quickly. 

Very confident...

 Mourad loves having an Indian shave, apparently the "best"shave ever. They start with moisturizing the face and after the shave they do a proper face, head and neck massage.

 This amazing service is standard from any barber street shop in India and all for 0.50 eur.

At the tea shop with kids. As all Indian kids, they didn't know their age, they said between 11 and 16, the one with the black T-shirt was already married.
