Pushkar is one of India's holiest towns, set around a sacred lake with ghats and temples on every side. Weddings happen in the resorts in the hills around it, and families often pair the ceremony with a visit to the lake. Tejaswini travels from Pune to style the bride for every function, from ₹50,000 per look.
Pune-based, travelling to PushkarTejaswini works from your resort for the duration of the wedding and brings extra artists only when the family needs them.

The town
Fifty-two ghats around a sacred lake.
Pushkar grew around its lake, which is lined with ghats and temples, including one of the very few temples in India dedicated to Brahma. Hills rise on three sides, with the Savitri temple on the highest ridge.
Every year around the Kartik full moon the town hosts the Pushkar Fair, when roads and hotels fill up. Most weddings take place at resorts in the surrounding hills, a few minutes' drive from the lake.

Planning around the town
What is different about a Pushkar wedding.
Pushkar is a pilgrimage town first and a wedding destination second. A few practical points shape the plan.
Town rules
Pushkar town is traditionally vegetarian and alcohol-free. Resorts outside the centre set their own policies, so confirm food and drink with your venue and planner.
Lake visits
Families often visit the ghats for a puja or portraits; the look for that outing is kept modest and practical.
Fair dates
During the Pushkar Fair, traffic and hotel demand rise sharply; avoid those days if you want quiet roads.
Dry hill air
Days are bright and dry; skin prep focuses on hydration.
Cool evenings
Winter nights in the hills are chilly, so outfits are planned with a wrap.
Short transfers
Resorts are a few minutes from the lake, so a ghat visit fits into a wedding day.
