Ajmer, a small city was established in the early 7th century by Ajaipal Chauhan and named Ajaimeru – the invisible hill. The city is surrounded by Aravalli mountain. The Chauhans ruled the city for many years but ultimately went to Delhi Sultanate when Prithiviraj Chauhan was killed in the battle with Mohammad Ghori. During the time of Akbar the city was designated as full fledged province and base for operations in Rajputana.
Ajmer is most popular for Dargah of Khwaja Moinuddin Chisti. It is the final resting place of the great Sufi mystic and a popular pilgrimage center for Muslim as well as Hindus. The shrine is especially thronged by thousands of pilgrims all over the subcontinent during the URS. The Dargah has two big cauldrons, which are filled with about 48 and 32 quintals of rice, dry fruits and condiments respectively and then cooked by professionals. The cooked rice is then sold as “TA BARUKH – SANCTIFIED FOOD”.
Pushkar, a small city is located around 11 km from Ajmer, is sacred to Hindus. Pushkar Lake is believed to created by Lord Brahma and have equal importance as Manasarover in Tibet. The lake is located on the fringe of desserts and surrounded by Aravalli range, also called ‘Nag Parvat.’ The place is also visited by lots of foreigners, there are plenty of restaurants, hotels, though Pushkar is considered as a holy town and therefore, there are no such place called bar or non vegetarian restaurants. There are around 400 temples in and around Pushkar. The important temples are dedicated to Lord Brahma, Lord Shiva, Badri Narayan, Varaha, Gayatri and Savitri.
The most attractive feature of Pushkar is the cattle fair, which is believed to be the most colorful and the largest cattle fair in the world. On the full moon night of Kartik (November) pilgrims take a holy dip in the lake.
