Home of the revered Ajmer Sharif Dargah
The shrine of Khwaja Moinuddin Chishti draws pilgrims of every faith, while Ana Sagar Lake and Adhai Din Ka Jhonpra reflect Ajmer’s layered history.
Ajmer is best known for Ajmer Sharif Dargah, the resting place of the Sufi saint Khwaja Moinuddin Chishti. People of all faiths come to offer chadar and flowers and to listen to soulful qawwalis.
Beyond the dargah, visit the Adhai Din Ka Jhonpra mosque, the serene Ana Sagar Lake built in the 12th century, and the gilded Soniji Ki Nasiyan Jain temple. The annual Urs festival draws enormous crowds — plan well in advance if you wish to attend.
Ajmer is about 2.5 hours from Jaipur via NH-48. Ajmer Junction is a major railway station and Kishangarh Airport is 30 km away.
