As mentioned in the Padma purana, a demon named Vajranabh tormented Rishi Parashar’s disciples. Rishi Parashar was a great sage at that time. He prayed and requested Lord Brahma to help. Brahma threw the lotus flower held in his hand at Vajranabh and the demon was executed.
A lake was created at the place where the lotus petals fell. This place was named as Pushkar as It was created by the flower held in Brahma’s palm (pushp- flower kar- palm). Rishi Parashar and his disciples were then told by Brahma to make the place their home. Brahma then decided to perform Yagna, a fire sacrifice to mark the birth of the city Pushkar. He required the presence of his consort to complete the ceremonies. Saraswati had gone to invite Laxmi, Parvati and Indra’s wife Shachi. She failed to arrive at the Yagna ceremony.

When Saraswati arrived and saw that Brahma had married someone else and started the Yagna without her, she could not bear the humiliation and cursed him and said that henceforth he would not be worshiped anywhere other than at Pushkar.
