Guru Dhawara Pushkar

The annual fair of Kartik Purnima held at Pushkar, coinciding with Guru Nanak Dev’s birthday, indeed adds to its significance. Guru Nanak Dev’s visit in 1509 AD for a holy dip in Pushkar Lake on Kartik Purnima, and Guru Gobind Singh’s visit in 1706 AD, underscore the religious and historical importance of Pushkar. The construction of the Gurudwara in the 19th century to commemorate their visits, later renovated into a vast white marble Gurudwara, reflects ongoing spiritual and communal efforts.
