Ajmer Travel Guide
 Ajmer and Pushkar towns just 11 kilometers apart from each other represent the multi-religious character of India in the most sublime manner.
Ajmer is known worldwide for the shrine of Sufi Saint Khwaja Moinuddin Chisti. Even Mughal emperors used to come here to pay homage. The Dargah is a hive of activity all through the year as people of all religions come here. Tons of rose petals are offered here everyday which itself describes the significance of the shrine. The shrine complex has two very big cauldrons for donations. Qawwali, the famous Sufi singing, is a common sight.
Ajmer has an interesting building known as Adhai Din ka Jhopra, which is said to have been built in just 2 ½ days. It was actually a Sanskrit college, which Mohammad Ghori later plundered and got rebuilt into a mosque. In the center of the town is a beautiful red temple of Jain religion, which is known as Nasiyan. The inside hall is exceptionally beautiful with gold and silver decorations. Ajmer, till 1947, acted as the place of British resident. Not being part of any principality, Ajmer grew up as a great center of education. Among the colleges, the Mayo College stands apart. It was the college for the princes to study and it still reflects that old world charm.
