After the entry gate comes the pillared outdoor hall called Mandapa and then the main sanctum sanctorum called Garbhagriha which is dedicated to Brahma and his second wife, Gayatri.
The symbol of hamsa (Swan), the mount of Brahma Ji, at the main entry gate, and the 70 feet high red shikhara (pinnacle) are two distinct and prominent features of the temple.
Structurally, the temple is constructed with stone slabs and blocks that are fixed together with molten lead. The walls and the marble floor (in black and white checks) have been studded with hundreds of silver coins by worshippers with their names etched on them.
These coins are a mark of offerings by devotees to their worshipper, Brahma.
Within the temple, the idol of the Brahma at Pushkar temple is made of marble and seated in a cross-leg position which depicts the aspect of the creation of the universe.
