Introduction:
It is not
only the humans but many a time, even gods included the supreme of all Bramha,
Vishnu and Shiva are cursed for their actions. This is one such story when
Bramha was cursed by none other than his wife goddess Saraswati who is renowned
for her wisdom and knowledge.
The reason behind Mata Saraswati Cursed to Lord Bramha
According to
the Padma Purana, once a few petals from the lotus of Bramha fell on earth. The
places where these petals fell turned into beautiful lakes. When Bramha came
down to earth to see the lakes, he named the region Pushkar. This resulted in
three lakes being named Pushkar, Madhya Pushkar, and Kanishta Pushkar.
Bramha then
decided to perform a sacrificial ceremony also known as Yagya to ensure the
purity and goodness of the region. A Yagya is a ritual that a man cannot
perform without his wife. So Bramha sent Narada to inform Saraswati to come to
the Yagya at the earliest.
Saraswati
could not reach the venue at the time designated as she was waiting for
Lakshmi, Parvati, and Indrani to join her. Bramha was becoming impatient and
could not wait for his wife much longer. In his haste, he married Gayatri and
completed the Yagya with his new wife beside him.
Gayatri with
a pot of Amrit in one hand and Ahuti for the fire in the other, helped Bramha
complete his Yagya. When Saraswati finally arrived, she saw Gayatri sitting
next to Bramha which was her rightful place. This made her furious and in her
anger, she cursed Bramha that he would never be worshipped by anyone. But upon
the advice of Lord Shiva and Lord Vishnu, she reduced her curses and then
allowed Bramha to be worshipped only in Pushkar.
Conclusion:
That is why
we have very limited temples dedicated to the creator of the world (Lord
Bramha), with the most prominent one being in Pushkar. For more historical
