Brahma,the creator God is not that widely worshipped like Vishnu or Shiva ,yet there are some temples dedicated to Brahma mainly in Rajasthan and Tamil Nadu..
Some of these temples include:
1)BRAHMAPUREESWARAR TEMPLE(TRICHY,TAMIL NADU)
This is a Dravida style temple in Tamil Nadu which is dedicated solely to Lord Brahma..
The story behind this temple is as follows..
Brahma,the Creator God had become very proud of himself and considered himself to be more important than Shiva as he was the creator.
Thus Shiva became very angry and his Kalbhairav form destroyed Brahma’s fifth head of arrogance.

He was also cursed by Shiva that he would lose his power of creation.
To relieve himself from this curse,Brahma started out on a pilgrimage to shiva temples.
Being moved by Brahma’s prayers,on Devi Parvati’s appeal,Shiva gave him darshan under the Magizha tree and restored his powers.
Shiva also blessed that he would have a separate shrine for himself and this shrine was the Brahmapureeswarar temple.

2)PUSHKAR BRAHMA TEMPLE
The most famous Brahma temple is at Pushkar,Rajasthan.
It is made in north Indian nagara style and dates back to the 14th century.
The temple is governed by a sanyasi sect priesthood.
On Kartik Poornima,a festival dedicated to Brahma is held when large number of pilgrims visit the temple after bathing in the sacred lake nearby.

Origin
According to Padma Purana,Brahma saw the demon Vajranabha trying to kill his children and harassing people.
He immediately slew the demon with his lotus flower.
In this process the petals of the lotus flower fell at 3 places creating 3 lakes-Jyestha puskar(Puskar lake only),Madhya Puskar and Kanishtha puskar..
Brahma then thought of performing a yajna near the Jyestha Puskar lake with his wife Savitri..
This led to the creation of the Ratnagiri and Suryagiri hills.

But Savitri was late for the yajna and so Brahma became angry..
Brahma thought of remarrying to carry on with the Yajna and so he married Gaitri who was a Gurjar milkmaid and was sanctified by passing her through the body of a cow.
When Savitri saw that Gaitri sat on her place,she became angry and cursed Brahma that he would not be worshipped ever and she also cursed Vishnu that he would suffer separation from his wife and cursed Indra that he would lose all wars..

But after the yajna,the curse of Savitri was diluted and according to the diluted curse,Brahma could only be worshipped in Puskar(though he has many temples beyond pushkar),Vishnu would take birth as Rama and be separated from Lakshmi(Sita) and Indra would not lose wars in heaven.
Thus Vishwamitra built the temple and it is believed that the temple was built during the times of Adi Shankaracharya and was latter built by Raja Jawat Raj of Ratlam..
