Ajmer Sharif Dargah
अजमेर शरीफ़ दरगाह
The tomb of the Sufi saint Moinuddin Chishti, one of South Asia's most important Islamic shrines, with qawwali music in the evenings.
The shrine holds the tomb of Moinuddin Chishti, a 13th-century Sufi saint and founder of the Chishti order. Devotees of all faiths come to offer roses and cloth and make wishes. Around the white marble tomb are gateways and a mosque donated by the Mughal emperors Akbar and Shah Jahan. In the courtyard, two huge copper cauldrons are used to serve free food. Qawwali, Sufi devotional music, is often performed on Thursday evenings and Fridays. Visitors must cover their heads and remove their shoes. Keep an eye on your belongings in the crowds. Admission is free.
