A lake located 36km north of Ajmer city in Rajasthan, India. It is also called Pokhar. Pushkara means "blue lotus", and Hindus consider this place to be a sacred place for the creator god Brahma. Brahma once visited this place with a lotus in his hand and discovered the demon Vajranabha, who was performing penance to destroy the gods. At that moment, the lotus suddenly fell from Brahma's hand, and the demon died from the loud noise and vibration, so the place came to be called Pushkara.

インド,ラージャスターン州アジュメール市の北方36kmにある湖。ポーカルPokharとも呼ばれる。プシュカラは〈青蓮華〉のことで,ヒンドゥー教徒はこの地を創造神ブラフマー(梵天)の聖地としている。ブラフマー神はかつて蓮華を手にしてこの地を訪れ,そこで神々を破滅させようと苦行をしていた悪魔バジュラナーバを発見した。するとその時ブラフマーの手から突然蓮華が落ち,その大音響と震動のため悪魔が死んだので,以後その地をプシュカラと呼ぶようになったという。
