Since his first wife Savatri was late on that occasion, and the auspicious time was running out, he started the ritual with his newlywed wife Gayathri. Obviously, this enraged Savatri and in her anger, cursed Lord Brahma that he would not have a temple or abode. Since the temple at Pushkar was constructed before the curse, we can find just one temple of Lord Brahma. The temple is known to have been constructed by Sage Vishwamitra and renovated (Jirnodvar) by Adi Shankaracharya.
