The Savitri Mata Temple in Pushkar lies on the Ratnagiri hill. It is one of the significant pilgrimages for the Hindus. This temple is dedicated to Goddess Savitri. Climbing on the hilltop is very hectic work. People believe they gain more 'Tapas' by doing more challenging work. In this temple you will find the idols of both wives of Lord Brahma, named Savitri and Gayatri. The Savitri temple is one of the best places to visit in Pushkar.
