About the Pushkar & Ajmer Holi Special
Holi in Pushkar, with the overnight run each way so it costs you one working day. A resort with a pool, a rain dance and DJs through the day and into the night, then the ghats and the Brahma temple once the colour has washed off.
Pushkar has one of the only Brahma temples anywhere, and its lake has 52 ghats around it. Ajmer and the Dargah Sharif are on the way home.
