The location where the flower landed was named Pushkar. Besides this tale, there are numerous other stories about the town's origin. Pushkar is situated approximately 14 kilometers from Ajmer and around 135 kilometers from Jaipur. It is one of the most significant pilgrimage sites for Hindus in India.
