  • 6 years ago
Urs Ajmer Sharif is celebrated to commemorate Sufi Saint Khwaja Moinuddin Chisti's unification with God.

Dargah Sharif Ajmer is situated at a barren hill's foot where the Sufi saint Khawaja Moinuddin Chishti's mortal remains are buried. The tomb, known as a Dargah, has a marvellous looking marble dome, located in between the courtyard and has a border of silver platform. One can see India's biggest Muslim Fair with various items sold at stalls like religious objects, rosaries, silver ornaments, books and embroidered carpets. It is believed here that your wishes can come true if prayed with pure hearts. Every year, this festival is celebrated to the saint's unification with God.

Khwaja Muinnddin Chisti was also known as the Gareeb Nawaz bas he was a protector and supporter of the poor. He dedicated all his life to serve the mankind. The Khawaja was from Persia, who established fakirs' Chishtia order in India. Khawaja had lived for almost hundred years.

From Jaipur, Ajmer is merely 132 kilometres towards southwest. The road network is easily accessible from various districts of Rajasthan such as Jaipur, Kota, Bikaner, Jodhpur and Udaipur. Ajmer is also a railway junction on the Western Railway. During the celebration, people mostly prefer travelling by special buses for the whole trip to Ajmer and back to their respective cities from all over India.
