== Location and significance ==
Situated in the [[Aravalli Range|Aravalli mountain range]], Naga Pahar serves as a natural divider between the town of Ajmer and the holy city of Pushkar. The mountain range is not only a geological formation but also a place of spiritual significance, and is written about in Hindu texts.

According to local beliefs, Naga Pahar is said to be the abode of the revered sage [[Agastya|Agastya Rishi]]. The mountain is also associated with the ancient story of Vatu, the son of Lord [[Brahma]]. Vatu took refuge on Naga Pahar after being disciplined by [[Chyavana|Chyavan Rishi]] for his mischievous antics. The mountain is also the site of the legendary Naag Kund, a sacred water source believed to have existed atop its slopes.

Naga Pahar has become a place of pilgrimage and spiritual exploration for devotees and tourists.

On the slopes of Naga Pahar is the '''Nag Pahad Wale Balaji Temple''', a prominent Hindu temple dedicated to [[Hanuman|Lord Balaji]]. This temple serves as a place of worship, with panoramic views of the surrounding landscape.
