THE
SWARUP GHAT
It is one of the important Ghats, and its strange history draws
pilgrims in huge numbers. Every visitor invariably takes bath here.
It is said that one prince' by name Narahar Rao visited this, when
he was on his hunting expedition. Attracted by the crystal clear
water, he took a little of it in his hands to drink. And lo! the
white spots on his body-marks of leprosy soon disappeared. With a
mere touch alone! And a permanent cure at it. Immediately, he
ordered a big gnat with strong and broad embankment to be added to
facilitate the visitors for safe and easy bath in this Pushkar.
Since then it is believed to be a boon to lepers, and others
suffering from skin diseases. Huge numbers greet the sight
throughout the year.
