What’s the experience like?

“Try saying ‘malpua’ without smiling,” our guide Ravi grinned as we ducked into a narrow lane off the main market in Pushkar. I probably looked ridiculous repeating it — Li laughed when I tried to say it in Mandarin too (I definitely butchered it). The morning air was thick with incense and the smell of frying batter from some hidden kitchen. We’d started at the Gurudwara, listening to Ravi explain why Pushkar matters so much to Sikhs — honestly, I didn’t expect to hear about Sikh history here. The marble under my feet felt cool and smooth, and there was this gentle hum from people chanting inside.

We wandered through alleys that seemed to twist forever, past faded blue doors and women stringing marigolds for temple offerings. At the old Vishnu temple, Ravi pointed out tiny carvings I would’ve missed — he told us stories about gods and families that made the stone feel alive somehow. There was a moment at Atmateshwar Temple where everything just went quiet except for a bell in the distance. I remember touching the carved walls; they were rough and cold, almost grounding after so much color outside.

The Pushkar Brahma Temple was busier than I thought it’d be — pilgrims everywhere, some carrying baskets of flowers or just pausing on the steps for a breath. Ravi explained why there’s only one Brahma temple in the world (I still think about that story sometimes). Afterward we drifted down to Brahma Ghat and watched families lighting candles by the water. There’s something about those rituals — not flashy, just quietly hopeful. We stopped for lemon ginger honey tea at a rooftop spot overlooking the market; I could see all the chaos below but up there it felt like time slowed down. The city walking tour in Pushkar isn’t really about checking off sights — it’s more like letting yourself get swept along by small moments you can’t plan for.
