Ajmer is like an oasis in the otherwise
barren land of Rajasthan. The city was
founded by Raja Ajay Pal Chauhan in the 7th Century A.D.
Today, Ajmer is reputed as major center
for culture and education for both the Hindus and Muslims.
It is also the base for visiting Pushkar-
the abode of Lord Brahma. |

is reputed as a major center for people from all
faiths. It is the splendid tomb of the Sufi saint
Khawaja Moinuddin Chisti more popularly
known as Khawaja Saheb or Garib Nawaz. The shrine
is next only to Mecca or Medina for the Muslims

Adhai-din-ka-jhonpra
|
Located
on the outskirts of the city, it is a masterpiece
of Indo-Islamic architecture. It was originally
a Sanskrit college, built within a temple. In 1193
A.D. Mohhamed Ghauri conquered Ajmer
and converted the building into a mosque by adding
a seven arched wall in front of the pillared hall
in just two-and-half days (adhai-din) and hence
the name. The distinct pillars-and arched "Screen"
with its ruined minarets make it a splendid architectural
masterpiece.
