Pushkar Mela 2026 Kab Hai? Full Information & Dates

Agar aap Rajasthan ke sabse bade, sabse rang-birange aur anokhe utsav ko live dekhna chahte hain, toh aapke dimaag mein ek hi sawaal ghoom raha hoga—Pushkar Mela 2026 kab hai? Har saal ki tarah is saal bhi Rajasthan ka yeh chota sa dharamik kshatray (town) ek aisi jagah mein badalne wala hai, jahan poori duniya ke rang ek sath dekhne ko milte hain. Is article mein hum baat karenge Pushkar Mela 2026 ki exact dates, iske shuru hone ke peeche ka itihaas aur iska dharmik mahatva kya hai.

Pushkar Mela 2026 Exact Dates Aur Schedule

Pushkar Mela koi random date par shuru nahi hota. Yeh poori tarah se Hindu calendar aur chandra chakra (lunar cycle) par nirbhar karta hai. Har saal yeh mela Kartik mahine ki Ekadashi se shuru hokar Kartik Purnima (Full Moon) tak chalta hai.

Saal 2026 mein, Rajasthan Tourism aur tithi ke mutabik Pushkar Mela ka aayojan niche diye gaye schedule ke hisab se hoga:

• Mela Shuru Hone Ki Tareekh (Official Start): 17 November 2026 (Tuesday)
• Pashu Mela (Cattle & Camel Trading Peak): 17 November se 20 November 2026
• Sanskritik Karyakram (Cultural Events & Contests): 21 November se 23 November 2026
• Mela Climax Aur Kartik Purnima Holy Dip: 24 November 2026 (Tuesday)

Ek Zaroori Baat (Pro Tip): Agar aapka main maqsad hazaron unton (camels), ghodon aur pashuon ka mela dekhna hai, toh aapko mela shuru hone se ek ya do din pehle hi, yaani 15-16 November tak hi Pushkar pahunch jaana chahiye. Iska karan yeh hai ki jo pashu vyapari (cattle traders) hote hain, woh Purnima ka intezar nahi karte. Jaise hi unke jaanwar bik jaate hain, woh Purnima se 2-3 din pehle hi apne gharon ko lautne lagte hain. Purnima ke aaspas sirf dharamik bheed aur cultural programs hi bachte hain.

Pushkar Mela Ka Itihas Aur Shuruat Kaise Hui?

Pushkar Mela ka itihas sadiyon purana hai. Iski shuruat kab hui, iska koi sateek (exact) saal toh puranon mein nahi milta, lekin iske peeche ek bohot hi dilchasp kahani hai.

Purane zamane mein Rajasthan ka ek bohot bada hissa registan thaa, jahan aane-jaane ke liye sirf camel (unt) hi ekmatra sadhan hua karta thaa. Is wajah se Rajasthan ke logon ke jeevan mein unton ka mahatva kisi parivar ke sadasya jaisa thaa. Saal mein ek baar, Kartik ke mahine mein, jab kheti ka kaam thoda halka hota thaa aur mausam suhana ho jata thaa, tab poore Rajputana (Rajasthan) aur aaspas ke rajyon ke vyapari ek jagah ik इकट्ठा (gather) hote the.

Pushkar ko is mela ke liye isliye chuna gaya kyunki yahan ek bohot hi pavitra jheel (lake) hai aur yahan peene ke paani ki suvidha thi. Shuruat mein yeh sirf ek Pashu Mela (Livestock Market) thaa, jahan log apne unton, ghodon aur khetibadi ke auzaron ki khareed-bech karte the. Lekin dheere-dheere, jab hazaron log ek jagah milne lage, toh unke manoranjan ke liye Rajasthani kalakar, lok geet gaane wale, aur kathputli (puppeteers) dikhane wale bhi aane lage. Is tarah ek vyaparik mela, ek bade sanskritik utsav mein badal gaya.

Pushkar Ka Dharmik Mahatva Aur Brahma Mandir Ka Rahasya

Pushkar sirf ek tourist destination nahi hai, balki yeh Hindu dharam ke sabse pavitra Tirth Sthalon mein se ek hai. Isko ‘Tirthraj’ yaani sabhi tirthton ka raja kaha jata hai. Iske mahatva ke peeche do sabse bade kaaran hain:

1. Bhagwan Brahma Ka Akela Mandir

Poore Bharat mein, aur keh sakte hain poori duniya mein, Bhagwan Brahma (srishti ke rachyita) ka mukhya aur sabse jagrit mandir sirf Pushkar mein hi sthit hai. Puranon ke mutabik, Bhagwan Brahma ne ek yagya karne ke liye is jagah ko chuna thaa. Unke haath se ek kamal ka phool (pushpa) yahan gira, jisse jheel ka nirman hua, isiliye is jagah ka naam Push-Kar (Pushpa + Kar, yaani haath se gira phool) pada.

2. Kartik Purnima Ka Pavitra Snan (Holy Bath)

Aisa maana jata hai ki Kartik Purnima ke din Pushkar Lake ke paani mein adbhut adhyatmik shaktiyan hoti hain. Manyata hai ki is din sabhi 33 koti devi-devta is jheel mein aate hain. Jo bhi vyakti is din jheel ke 52 ghats mein se kisi bhi ghat par sacche mann se dubki lagata hai, uske saare paap kat jaate hain aur use janam-maran ke chakra se mukti (moksha) milti hai. Yahi wajah hai ki mela ke aakhri din yahan lakhon ki sankhya mein sadhu-sanyasi aur bheddi (devotees) aate hain.
