8 Classes & Workshops in Pushkar That You Shouldn't Miss
Pushkar (Hindi: पुष्कर) is a town in the Ajmer district in the Indian state of Rajasthan. It is situated about 10 km (6.2 mi) northwest of Ajmer and about 150 kilometres (93 mi) southwest of Jaipur. It is a pilgrimage site for Hindus and Sikhs. Pushkar has many temples. Most of the temples and ghats in Pushkar are from the 18th century and later, because many temples were destroyed during Muslim conquests in the area. Subsequently, the destroyed temples were rebuilt. The most famous among Pushkar temples is the red spired Brahma Temple built during the 14th century CE. . It is considered a sacred city by the Hindus particularly in Shaktism, and meat and eggs consumption are forbidden in the city. Pushkar is located on the shore of Pushkar Lake, which has many ghats where pilgrims bathe. Pushkar is also significant for its Gurdwaras for Guru Nanak and Guru Gobind Singh. One of the bathing ghats is called Gobind ghat built by the Marathas in the memory of Guru Gobind Singh.

As a couple we arranged this cooking course in Pushkar and it was so lovely! Deepa is a very sweet woman who teaches wonderfully and with care. Her English is very good and her cooking even better! We made dhal, gobi curry and brown chapatis, which she arranged specially due to an allergy, and for which we are very grateful. Couldn’t recommend this class more. Make sure to come the day before to secure a time.

On most of my travels I like to do a Cookingclass to learn more about the local herbs and spices. In this class we were showed all the herbs & spices by name and how to use. Also the explanation of difference in the hot spices and the other? They won't mix those two different kinds... Important to know, right? We started by making some Massala chai, always a good start! We got to make several dishes from curry to biryani and some nan and chapati. I loved the experience again. From every lesson I learn so much! Thank you!
