Naga Hill Attractions


*Naga Hill or the Snake Mountain as it means, stands as a divider between the Pushkar Lake and the city of Ajmer.
*The mountain is famous for Panch Kund and the cave of saint Agastya and it is believed that the 4th century poet & playwright Kalidas composed Abhigyanam Shakuntalam here.
*Here goes an interesting belief that the Naga Hill is the oldest hill in the world and that it was a few million feet high some thousand years ago. Moreover it is said that by the time Kalayuga ends, the hill will sink down to the earth!
*On top of the Naga Hill is a tank called the Naga Kund, which is connected to an interesting Hindu myth. It is said that those who come here on the 5th day of Shravan (July/August) have their wishes fulfilled with the benevolence of Vatu - grandson of Brahma,also a great source of attraction.


¤ Legendary Belief

Common belief goes that this is the oldest hill in the world, and the people here won’t accept a contradictory statement to this effect. The Naga hill was actually a mountain thousands of years ago, and it was supposedly a few million feet high. Then it’s height began to decrease, but the hill wasn’t to blame – it was the earth which was sinking! and then it is also said that by the time the kala yuga (the era of violence, greed, ignorance and vice) ends, the hill would have sunk right down into the earth. Another local notion is that a visit to this temple will deliver one from all misfortunes while in Pushkar.


¤ Naga Kund

On a travel tour to Naga Hill do visit Naga Tank another attraction on top of the hills. Naga Kund, story revolves around another Hindu myth. Long ago there lived Chyavan, a rishi (one well versed with Hindu scriptures). Apparently he didn’t like Brahma’s grandson Vatu and cursed him to become a slimy snake for the rest of his life. This happened on the second day of an important sacrifice because the artful Vatu brought along a snake and let it loose on Chyavan’s father Bhrigu, who suddenly found a snake coiled around him. Understandably, being Bhrigu’s son, Chyavan was rather annoyed and out came the curse.


¤ Kund Holds Devin Power

Vatu promptly appealed to grandfather Brahma to undo the curse, and the Creator immediately blessed him and said that he could live near the kund (water tank) as a human. Much relieved with this prospect, Vatu ventured forth and prayed for some time, performed a yagna (fire sacrifice) and lived happily ever after. Those who come here on the 5th day of Shravan (July/August in the Hindu calender) have their wishes fulfilled with the benevolence of Vatu.
