• Pushkar Day Trip (15 km): The sacred lake town is just 30 minutes by auto or taxi from Ajmer. The Brahma Temple, Pushkar Lake with 52 ghats, and the cafes of the old town are the highlights. If visiting during the Pushkar Camel Fair (November), book transport and accommodation well in advance.
• Urs Festival Timing: The annual Urs commemorating Khwaja Moinuddin Chishti runs for 6 days and draws millions. Dates follow the Islamic calendar and change each year. Check the dates before planning your trip during Urs.

Why Ajmer Is India’s Most Important Sufi Pilgrimage City

Most travellers to Rajasthan focus on Jaipur, Udaipur, or Jodhpur. Ajmer offers a spiritual depth that no other Rajasthan city matches.

• Dargah Sharif: The shrine of Khwaja Moinuddin Chishti (1141 to 1236 AD), the founder of the Chishti order of Sufism in India, is visited by an estimated 150,000 people daily. Mughal Emperors from Akbar to Shah Jahan made pilgrimages here. The two massive degs (cauldrons) in the courtyard cook food for thousands of devotees daily.
• Gateway to Pushkar: Pushkar (15 km) has the only Brahma Temple in the world, a sacred lake with 52 bathing ghats, and the Pushkar Camel Fair, one of the world’s largest livestock fairs with cultural events, competitions, and hot air balloon rides.
• Adhai Din Ka Jhopra: This 12th century mosque was originally a Sanskrit college before being converted by Qutub ud Din Aibak in 1199 AD. The name means “shelter of two and a half days” referring to how quickly it was repurposed. The Indo Islamic arches and pillars are among the finest in India.
• Taragarh Fort: One of the oldest hill forts in India, sitting at 870 metres above Ajmer. The fort offers panoramic views of Ana Sagar Lake, the city, and the Aravalli range.
• Ana Sagar Lake: This artificial lake built by Anaji Chauhan (grandfather of Prithviraj Chauhan) in the 12th century is flanked by marble pavilions added by Emperor Shah Jahan.

Ajmer works well as a 2 to 3 day trip from Delhi or Jaipur, combining the Dargah pilgrimage with Pushkar and the Aravalli heritage.
