Savitri Mata Temple On the Ratnagiri hill, a considerably formidable climb around Pushkar Lake, the Savitri temple in Pushkar is located. Pushkar is a small religious hamlet with a rich history and a popular pilgrimage spot for the Hindu School of Religious Philosophy in the Ajmer district of the Indian state of Rajasthan.
Because of its origin and subsequent installation, the Savitri temple has a strange tale that can be traced back to various Hindu epics and mythological references in religious texts and scriptures. The temple dedicated to Goddess Savitri is said to have been built when she cursed her husband Bramha for compromising her respected role next to her husband as an effective orchestrator Religious ritual for a mortal inferior. Bramha was cursed to be limited to only one place of worship by devotees, according to the curse, and that was in Pushkar. Tradition also reveres and obeys the wishes of the Goddess Savitri to be worshipped first before one continues to pay tributes to worship Lord Bramha, thereby saving them from folly.
As mentioned earlier, the climb after scaling the Ratnagiri hill to the temple premises is very challenging and not for the faint-hearted. However, legend has it that one’s spiritual accumulation of riches is credited with the hard work and toil spent climbing the hill to reach the temple. While there is a rope cable car for those who are unable to climb stairs, if your visit is a pilgrimage, It will not make the pilgrimage successful, or so it is thought, to escape the toil of climbing stairs. The temple houses the idols of Lord Bramha’s two wives, Savitri and Gayatri, the one with whom he replaced the original female. However, the Goddess Savitri is worshipped first before one enters Gayatri, in accordance with ritual belief.
