According to the Padma Purana, once a few petals from the lotus of Brahma fell on earth. The places where these petals fell turned in beautiful lakes. When Brahma 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.
Brahma then decided to perform a sacrificial ceremony also known as yagya to ensure purity and goodness of the region. A yagna is a ritual that a man cannot perform without his wife. So Brahma sent Narada to inform Saraswati to come to the yagya at the earliest. Saraswati could not reach the venue at the time. Brahma 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 besides him. Gayatri with a pot of amrit (elixir of life) in one hand and ahuti for the fire in the other helped Brahma complete his yagya. When Saraswathi finally arrived, she saw Gayathri sitting next to Brahma which was her rightful place. This made her furious and, in her anger, she cursed Brahma that he would never be worshipped by anyone. But upon the advice of Shiva and Vishnu, she reduced her cursed, allowing Brahma to be worshipped only in Pushkar.
