Ajmer —
The Heart of Rajasthan
Nestled among the ancient Aravalli hills, Ajmer is one of India's most important pilgrimage cities — home to the revered Dargah of Khwaja Moinuddin Chishti, the majestic Ana Sagar Lake and a thousand years of layered history. Sacred to Hindus, Muslims and Sikhs alike — a Ddhora cab takes you there in comfort.
Rajasthan's Spiritual Capital
Founded in 1113 AD by Ajayraj Singh Chauhan, Ajmer sits in a natural basin surrounded by the Aravalli Range, 135 km southwest of Jaipur. For over 900 years it has been one of the Indian subcontinent's most important pilgrimage cities — a place where Mughal emperors came to seek blessings, where Akbar walked barefoot from Agra, and where millions of devotees of every faith still converge each year.
The city is defined by its extraordinary religious diversity: the Dargah Sharif of Sufi saint Khwaja Moinuddin Chishti draws Muslims, Hindus and Sikhs in equal measure; the Adhai Din Ka Jhonpra is one of the oldest mosques in India; and the Ana Sagar Lake — built by the great-great-grandfather of Emperor Akbar — is a serene centrepiece around which the city breathes. Ajmer is also the gateway to Pushkar, just 11 km away.
