Pushkar Mela

Pushkar Mela is the cattle and camel fair that gathers on the sand beside Pushkar Lake in the week of Kartik Purnima. Livestock trading, rural sports, and evening folk nights run from 17 to 24 November 2026; the full-moon snan in the lake and darshan at the Brahma temple close the week on 24 November.

Pushkar sits in Ajmer district, on the edge of Marwar rather than in Mewar. Pilgrims treat Kartik Purnima as the sacred core; traders treat the earlier days as the market. We link the panchang to Ajmer, the nearest city on this site, about fifteen kilometres from the ghats.

A Kartik snan is a pre-dawn walk to the ghats. Brahma muhurat on the Ajmer page is closer to that hour than Abhijit. Check tithi end so you are not bathing after Purnima has closed if your family is strict. Rahu kalam still matters for a new purchase on the mela ground.

Read Ajmer panchang for 24 November before the Kartik snan. Crowd control, camel-cart bans, and ticketed cultural nights are official mela notices — the panchang only times sunrise, tithi, and kaal.
