Ajmer
Ajmer Is A Famous Symbol Of Unity In Diversity In India. Pushkar Fair And Khwaja Moinuddin Chisti Urs At Ajmer Dargah Are Important For Both Hindu Pilgrimage And Muslim Pilgrims.
 Ajmer is a green oasis surrounded by the hills of the Aravali mountain range. Ajmer has a long history and has been a witness to many battles. Once ruled by Prithviraj Chauhan, Ajmer was founded by Raja Ajay Pal Chauhan in the tenth century CE. Ajmer has always been strategically important in the military history of India, having first been sacked by Mahmood of Ghouri and later conquered by the Mughal Emperor Akbar.
For the itinerant tourist, Ajmer offers the most amazing example of the religious diversity and tolerance of the idea that is India. The dargah of Khwaja Moinuddin Chisti, the Muslim Sufi saint, is reverred by both Hindus and Muslims equally. Ajmer is also the base for visiting Pushkar, a mere 11 kilometers away. Pushkar is home to the only temple in the world, dedicated to Lord Brahma, reverred as the creator of all creation, in Hindu religion. It also has a beautiful lake. A dip in the lake is considered sacred by Hindus and is thronged by millions in the month of Kartik (October - November). The pilgrimage is also the occasion for the famous Pushkar Cattle Fair that has become extremely popular among the tourists for its colour, Camel Races, fun and revelry. |
