I ask a few friends at Pushkar: Do you know the names of the 52 ghats around holy Pushkar Lake?
NO was the reply. I ask a few unknown people, the reply was the same. Finally, I decided to walk around Pushkar Lake (outer circle) to know.
At the entrance of the ghats, there is a gate with the name mentioned. How many I was able to find I am sharing them with you. Yes, maybe I have missed a few I agree but it is sure I was unable to know 52 ghats’ names. There are ghat’s names also mentioned within the inner circle walls around Pushkar Lake. Maybe if I walk again, I will be able to know all 52 ghats’ names. Anyways, below is what I find while walking around Pushkar Lake (outer circle).
- Varah Ghat
- Jaipur Ghat
- Guru Govind Singh Ghat
- Saptrishi Ghat
- Shiva Ghat
- Jodhpur Ghat
- Veer Gurjar Ghat
- Shree Tantu Vai Vaishya Ghat
- Chauri Pedi Ghat
- Tarni Ghat
- Bengali Ghat
- Brahma Ghat
- Mahirishi Dadhichi Ghat
- Yagya Ghat
- Cheek Mata Ghat
- Gau Ghat
- Cheer Ghat
- Ram Ghat
- Gangaur Ghat
- Badri Ghat
- Vishram Ghat
- Narsing Ghat
- Kurmanchal Ghat
- Namdev Vithal Ghat
- Holkar Ghat
The above list is incomplete. And I was at Pushkar again. Walking again (the inner circle) to know more.
1. Banshi Ghat
2. Mhadev Ghat
3. Chandra Ghat
4. Indra Ghat
5. Gwalior Ghat
6. Bangla Ghat
7. Vallabh Ghat
8. Rajbohra Ghat
9. Kalyan Ghat
10. Karni Ghat
11. Parshuram Ghat

17. Nagar Ghat
18. Jagannath Ghat
19. Ram Ghat
20. Mukti Ghat

I have excluded 25 ghats (outer circle) names within 23 (the inner circle) because it is mentioned earlier. Finally 48 ghats of Pushkar Lake out of 52 ghats – knowledge enhanced. Four ghats’ names are yet to know. Please share if you know. Thank you.
