Savitri Mata Mandir
About Savitri Mata Mandir
Perched at approximately 750 feet elevation on Ratnagiri Hill in Pushkar's Ajmer district, Savitri Mata Mandir stands as a significant pilgrimage destination rooted in Hindu mythology. According to legend, Goddess Savitri chose this elevated sanctuary after being replaced by Goddess Gayatri during Lord Brahma's sacred yagna ceremony, symbolizing themes of self-respect and divine devotion. The temple venerates both Savitri and Gayatri, consorts of Lord Brahma, with Savitri receiving primary honors. Devotees ascend either 970 stone steps—considered a purifying spiritual journey—or utilize a ropeway for gentler access. The hilltop location commands panoramic views of Pushkar Lake, the ghats, and the surrounding town, creating a serene atmosphere enhanced by daily rituals and evening aartis that intensify during festivals.
