There are only few mandirs in the world which are
exclusively dedicated to Hindu God Brahma ji. The most famous Brahma Mandir is
located in Pushkar in Rajasthan. It is an important pilgrim center in Hinduism and
is located in the heart of Pushkar town.
Brahma Mandir is a small one but is very impressive. In the
front of the mandir, two small mandirs dedicated to Lord Kubera and Indra can
be found. They are the dwarpalakas who stop all invisible entrants to the
shrine.
Marble steps lead up to the mandir. The first sighting here
is the silver turtle embossed on the floor facing the sanctum sanctorum.
Hundreds of silver coins are also embedded on the floor. The walls and floor of
the mandir are studded with silver coins. Devotees in memory of the dead and
during birthdays place these silver coins.
Images of peacock, vehicle Goddess Saraswati, consort of
Brahma, are also drawn on the walls of the shrine.
The murti of Brahma worshiped here is in life-size form with
four hands and four faces. The murti is in seated form. Goose or hamsa the
vehicle of Brahma is located on the gateway of the shrine.
There is also a small murti of Goddess Gayatri in the
sanctum sanctorum and she is known as Chaumurti.
In the mandir complex there is a small cave, which is
dedicated to Lord Shiva.
