Ajmer City:
South West of Jaipur, Ajmer is an oasis wrapped in the green hills. The city was founded by Raja Ajay Pal Chauhan in the 7th Century A.D. and continued to be a major centre of the Chauhan power till 1193 A.D. Prithviraj Chauhan lost it to Mohammed Ghori, after which Ajmer became home to many dynasties.
Ajmer was also a favourite residence for the great Mughals. One of the first contacts between the Mughal King Jahangir and Sir Thomas Roe took place here in 1616. The Scindias took over the city in 1818 and then handed it over to the British. Thus, Ajmer was the only region to be directly controlled by the East Indian Company.
Visit to Jain temple and close by artificial lake - Anna Sagar is worth visiting, besides Khwaja Moinuddin Chisti’s Dargah and Adhai Din Ka Jhonpra.
Today, Ajmer is a popular pilgrimage centre for the Muslims as well as Hindus. Especially famous is the Dargah Sharif-tomb of the Sufi saint Khwaja Moinuddin Chisti, which is equally revered both by the Hindus and the Muslims. Ajmer is a centre of culture and education. The British chose Ajmer for its prestigious Mayo College, a school exclusively for Indian nobility at one time. However, now it is one of the best public schools in the country.
Ajmer is also the base for visiting Pushkar (14 km.) which has the distinction of having the only Brahma temple in the world. The Picturesque Pushkar Lake is a sacred spot for Hindus. During the month of Kartik (Oct/Nov), devotees throng in large numbers to take a
dip in the sacred lake.
Fairs: Every year two famous fairs are held:
Urs of Khwaja Moinuddin Chisti (as per Muslim calendar) and
Pushkar Cattle fair (during Oct-Nov) at Pushkar.
Hotel Khadim: The hotel is named after the famous Sufi saint Khwaja
Moinuddin Chisti's devotees. Hotel Khadim is the preferred stay for the
