Before entering a new life after marriage, the bride and groom are seen in the temple so that they can live a happy and prosperous marital life with the blessings of God. But do you know that there is also a temple where boys are afraid of going after marriage. It is said about this temple that every married man who comes here to visit, has troubles in his marital life. This is none other than Brahmaji’s world famous Pushkar temple. This is the only temple of Brahmaji in the whole country which is located in Pushkar district of Rajasthan. Why the newly married boys are afraid of going to the temple, there is a unique story behind it.
Brahma performed the sacrifice
Brahma organized a yagna in Pushkar, Rajasthan to create the universe. It was necessary to sit with his wife in this yagna, but his wife Savitri was getting late to reach. The auspicious time of worship was coming out. All the deities had reached the place of sacrifice, but Savitri could not come on time. When the auspicious time began to pass, Brahmaji was forced to reveal Gayatri from the mouth of Nandini cow and started marrying her. Brahmaji’s wife Savitri came, and in the yagna, she was very angry to see another woman sitting next to Brahmaji in the yagna. In the same anger, he cursed Brahmaji that the world for which you have forgotten me and will not worship you. Married people who enter this temple will face problems in their marital life. That is why unmarried boys and girls, women enter the temple premises, but not married people.
Lord Vishnu was also cursed
Not only Brahmaji, but also Lord Vishnu who went with him in the yajna was cursed by Goddess Savitri. He had to bear the pain of disconnection from his wife. It is said that for this reason Lord Vishnu’s human avatar Shri Ram had to stay away from his wife for 14 years during exile. The Brahmin who performed the yagna was also cursed that no matter how much he gets, the Brahmins will never be satisfied. The cow was cursed to eat soil in Kali Yuga and Narada Muni got a curse to remain unmarried for a lifetime.
The temple of Savitriji is different from the temple of Brahmaji
There is a temple of Brahmaji’s wife Savitri on a hill behind the temple. It is believed that after the anger calmed down, Savitri went to the hills near Pushkar and got absorbed in penance and then started living there.
Women worship Savitriji
Women come here and offer mehndi, bindi and bangles in the form of Prasad and wish Savitri a long life of her husband. It is said that Savitri lives here and welfare her devotees. Devotees have to cross hundreds of stairs to go there. This pilgrimage is successful only after taking the blessings of both Brahma and Savitri.
Pushkar lake is also important
There is a beautiful lake next to the temple which is known as Pushkar Lake. It is believed that it was also made by Brahmaji. Pushkar Lake is known all over the world for its purity and beauty. It is believed that every person must go to Pushkar once in his life. Pushkar is one of the most important pilgrimage centers in Hinduism. Its importance is as much as Banaras or Prayag.
