Ajmer India
Founded by Rajah Ajai Pal Chauhan in
the 7th century, Ajmer is a Muslim pilgrimage center on the shore of Ana
Sagar. Till 1193 A.D., Ajmer used to be a major center of the Chauhan power
when the rajput Ruler Prithviraj Chauhan lost it to Mohammed Ghauri.
The abode is also famous for the tomb of Khwaja Moin-ud-din Chisti, a
medieval Sufi-Saint. Other monuments which stand as reminders of Ajmer's

Exploring Ajmer!
Dargah of Khawaja Moin-Ud-Din- Chisti
This is the shrine of Khawaja Moin-ud-din-Chisti, a medieval sufi saint who
came to India from Persia in 1192. Humayun completed the construction of the
shrine and the gate was added by the Nizam of Hyderabad. The saint's tomb is
in the center of the second court. The actual tomb is concealed in raised
marble dome by a silver platform
Adhai Din Ka Jhopda
Initially it was a Sanskrit college that was destroyed by the Mohammad
Ghauri and was converted into mosque in just 2 and half days and hence it
was named after the situation. This is one of the very old mosque in India
built in 1193 AD and is a great example of Indo- Muslim architecture
The Museum
