History Of The Temple
There is an interesting story behind the rise of this temple which has a mythological connection. Once, Lord Brahma was performing a Yagna on the bank of the Pushkar Lake where the presence of Goddess Savitri was required. But as she was late in arriving and the holy moment was passing by, the at that time Brahma married another girl to complete this ritual. When the Goddess arrived she was upset to see someone else in her place and in her anger she cursed everyone present there. Later the first wife Savitri went to the hilltop. Then the agreement was made Savitri will always be worshiped first and then Gayatri. Tradition still continues – first arti is performed at Savitri temple and then at Gayatri temple. After this incident the temple was constructed in her dedication and still you will notice a small stream flowing beside the temple.
