Ditch the midday crowd and visit right after sunrise when the incense fills the marble courtyard. You will see devotees offering floral chadaars, but stay respectful of the strictly enforced photography bans inside the inner sanctum. Spend two hours here, then book a $32 walking tour to see how the local Pushkar route connects the city’s history. Skip the aggressive touts outside the main gate; buy your offerings from the smaller, quieter stalls further down the lane.
