Surrounded by the enchanting Aravali hills, Ajmer is a medieval city most popular for the shrine of Khwaja Moinuddin Chisti. Once ruled by Prithviraj Chauhan, the city is a treasure house of Rajput and Islamic architecture. Ajmer, which is located in the heart of Rajasthan, also serves as the base for Pushkar, which is just 11km away. The magnificent Taragarh fort situated on the summit of the Taragarh Hill is an unmissable site for its view of the city. At the foot of this hill is the Ajmer Sharif Dargah, the tomb of Khwaja Moinuddin Chisti. The large pillars or Kose that you’ll see here actually run till Agra from where Akbar and his queen visited this sanctum. You can also visit the Akbar Fort and Museum for its collection of medieval armour and sculptures. There are several other sites of Hindu, Islamic and Jain religious importance that you can look out for while taking a ride through the city on the horse-drawn tongas. Fill up on delicacies such as the Kesarganj gol chakkar, chaat and kachori at the Pandit Restaurant opposite Daulat Bagh. The women’s market is a hub of traditional lehengas and odhnis. Amidst the old-fashioned and charming city of Ajmer, Ambassador and Hotel Mansingh Palace offer two of the most conventional and luxurious stays.

I started my journey early morning. I had breakfast and a cup of tea at the roadside stall near my hotel. First stop was Ajmer dargah Sharif, 1.5KM away from railways station. I started by foot because I could also get a glimpse of this year old city and its culture. The way to dargah is narrow and was very crowed.

Jaipur: Yeh shehar nahin, mehfil hai

By Garima Jain

It is a shrine of Khwaja Moinuddin Chishti which is situated at the foot of the Taragarh hill, and consists of several white marble buildings arranged around two courtyards, including a massive gate donated by the Nizam of Hyderabad, and the Akbari Mosque, built by the Mughal emperor Shah Jahan and containing the domed tomb of the saint. Akbar and his queen used to come here by foot every year on pilgrimage from Agra in observance of a vow when he prayed for a son. The large pillars called "Kose ('Mile') Minars", erected at intervals of two miles (3 km) along the entire way between Agra and Ajmer mark the places where the royal pilgrims halted every day. It has been estimated that around 125,000 pilgrims visit the site every day.

8 Things To Do in Ajmer and Pushkar

By Bidisha

Being a city-soul I keep sacrificing a piece everyday to sustain the rat race in the heavy competitive life-ways of Mumbai. To mend whatever is left and construct a new piece I blindly believe in the curing air of a small town. And my favorite soul-clinic is the city of Ajmer housing the Holy Sufi Shrine, the Dargah of Ajmer Sharif. The place itself emanates an immense sense of peace. Once inside I soak it in and sit down to in the holy calmness to observe the place and the devotees. A little street smartness is always handy in dodging the shopkeepers inside who are keen to sell you artifacts in double or triple rates than the regular. Once outside, the bustling gullies are thronged with yummy samples of local sugar-therapy. Sohan Halwa and Karachi Halwa are simply the best take away. For me it’s always the savory that’s the savior and so my nose promptly guides me to the mouth-watering street-kebabs and succulent rezalas in the eateries bordering the main road, opposite the Ajmer railway station and the bus terminus. While shooting in Pushkar, every night we would drive down the hills for our dinner in any one of these joints.

MANGO PEOPLE – THE STATE OF RAJASTHAN

By Shreya Nandy

It would be stupid to go all the way to Ajmer and not eat and definitely see and experience the pious Ajmer Sharif Dargah. It was filled with so much positiveness. Walking inside as a Hindu, they only thing that was in my mind was I had this prejudice in my mind that people inside would judge me, depending on the way I carry myself or my clothes etc etc, but it was quite a contrary. Religion doesn't choose you, you choose one.

Experience of people and religion. It is not only about ticking off a place from your touristy to-do list, it is an experience.

A little laid-back land: Pushkar

By Shubham Shukla

Cars do not go all the way to the dargah so your vehicle will stop a few km away. From there you either walk, hire a cycle-rickshaw or an auto rickshaw to the dargah. It is recommended to hire an auto rickshaw for an amusing (partly adventurous) ride.

Ana Sagar Lake is a lake in Ajmer, was built by Anaji tomar, the grandfather of Prithvi Raj Chauhan.

Anasagar Lake is not far from here. There is no better option than spending an good evening by lakeside. I had to leave for Pushkar on the same day, so I had my lunch at the restaurant near the lake and took a public Bus (Cost INR 20) from Roadways Bus Stand, Railway Colony.

Ajmer Junction

Jaipur Rd, Patel Nagar, Topdara, Ajmer, Rajasthan 305001, India

I was on my trip to Jaipur and my next stop was Ajmer, 130km southwest of Jaipur and just 13km from the Hindu pilgrimage town of Pushkar. Bus normally takes 3 hours from Jaipur. Trains are also available but I prefer Bus. When I reached Ajmer, It was nearly 9 PM. I booked a room near the railways station through Booking.com in INR 200. It was not awesome but was good for spending a single night only.
