Ajmer-e-Sharief Dargah

The final resting place for ''Gharib-Nawaz'' - Moinuddin Chishti is located
in Ajmer. People of all religions visit the Dargah of Khwaja Moinuddin Chishti.
The Khwaja left for heavenly abode in 1256 AD after a six day prayer in
seclusion. These six days are celebrated every year as the annual Urs, which
is attended by innumerable pilgrims irrespective of their faith.
The shrine is considered to be a place of wish fulfillment for those
who pray with devout and pure hearts. It is said that Emperor Akbar sought
blessings for his son at the Dargah.
The entry to the Dargah is through the DargahBazar that leads to the inner
courtyard. The high gateway has beautifully carved silver doors. In the

kg. On special occasions, 'Kheer' cooked in these cauldrons is distributed
among the pilgrims. The grave of the Sufi Saint is surrounded by a silver
railing and is partially covered with a marble screen. The daughter of Shah
