The city of Pushkar, also known as the rose garden of Rajasthan, offers the highest per-hectare yield for rose cultivation in the subcontinent. According to a legend, Lord Brahma once dropped flowers from his hand and the place where those flowers fell came to be known as Pushkar (in Sanskrit push means flower andkar means hand).
The association of the city and flowers was further strengthened when the Mughals introduced rose farming around 1615. The flowers grown here were used to make wines, rose-based skincare, perfumes, sherbets, and gulkand (a delicacy that has a cooling effect). This practice continues today and rose cropping remains one of the primary occupations of the city residents alongside tourism and animal rearing.
Rose farming is done 10 out of 12 months in the city. In 1995, the city produced 40,000kg roses a day. More than 700 hectares of land is dedicated to rose cultivation. Most rose gardens are located in the periphery of the Pushkar lake. What sets apart these gardens is the minimal use of chemical fertilizers. Pushkar’s rose gardens do not only offer employability but are tourist attractions in their own right.
Pushkar rose has made a name for itself in the competitive floriculture market. It has a high export value due to its fat content and acid-base (pH) balance. As a result, it is in much demand from the food, pharmaceutical, skincare, cosmetic, and perfume industries all over the world.
