RAS question
Savitri Temple is at which location?
Correct answer: (B) Pushkar.
Savitri Temple is located at Pushkar, on a hillock behind the Brahma Temple overlooking Pushkar Lake.
Explanation
Savitri Temple is associated with Pushkar, not merely the wider Ajmer district. The official Rajasthan Tourism page for Pushkar lists Savitri Temple among Pushkar’s attractions and says it is dedicated to Goddess Savitri, Lord Brahma’s first wife. Its location also explains why Pushkar is the precise answer: the temple stands on a hillock behind the Brahma Temple, and the climb gives a panoramic view of Pushkar Lake, nearby temples and sand dunes. The hilltop view of Pushkar Lake is therefore central, because it ties the temple’s identity to Pushkar’s sacred landscape and to the Brahma-Savitri legend connected with worship at Pushkar.
Why the other options are wrong
- (A) Ajmer is not the specific location asked for; the official tourism entry places Savitri Temple under Pushkar and describes it behind the Brahma Temple there.
- (C) Jaipur is wrong because Rajasthan Tourism’s Pushkar page places Savitri Temple in Pushkar, not Jaipur.
- (D) Nathdwara is wrong because Savitri Temple is identified with Pushkar’s Brahma Temple and Pushkar Lake setting, not Nathdwara.
Concept
This tests Rajasthan art-and-culture location mapping: temples, pilgrimage centres and their associated towns. Such questions recur in RAS because cultural sites are often asked through one-line location recall with a small contextual clue.
