The most famous Brahma Temple in Pushkar, in the state of Rajasthan, is the only temple dedicated to Lord Brahma (the creator of the universe according to Hindu mythology) in the entire India. This is an important pilgrim centre for the Hindus. It is nestled in the Pushkar valley which lies beyond Nagaparvat and the Anasagar lake.
This place is full of natural beauty and holds a special place in the hearts of the Indians for it is believed that Lord Brahma, together with all the gods and goddesses, performed a here. Legend has it that the ancient lake Sarovar had appeared miraculously, when a lotus fell from the hands of Lord Brahma and dropped into this valley. You can identify it by its red spire and by the image of a hans (the goose considered to be the sacred vehicle of Lord Brahma). This temple is built with marble and decorated with silver coins. There is also a silver turtgle on the floor of the temple.

Have you visited this temple? Your description makes it seem like a very serene place.
