Why people go here
Rajasthan Tourism calls Pushkar the pilgrimage for salvation and lists its 52 bathing ghats. News coverage describes Pushkar as a leading place for shraddh and pind daan, though the official page does not mention them.
This association comes from reputable secondary sources; the temple's own pages do not state it. Treat it as a well-known local tradition rather than a classical prescription.
