AJMER - 2ND MECCA OF MUSLIMS

Ajmer is a famous pilgrimage for muslims all over the world. The Dargah Shareef is situated at the foot of the Taragarh hill, and consists of several white marble buildings arranged around two courtyards, including a massive gate donated by the Nizam of Hyderabad, a mosque donated by the Mughal emperor Shah Jahan, the Akbari Masjid, and the domed tomb of the saint. To this place Emperor Akbar, with his queen, performed pilgrimage on foot from Agra every year in observance of a vow he had made when praying for a son. The large pillars, erected at intervals of two miles the whole way between Agra and Ajmer mark the daily halting places of the royal pilgrim, are still extant
