Ajmer & Pushkar

Ajmer:-

Raja Ajai Pal Chauchan founded Ajmer in the 7th century AD. This former princely state was ruled by the Chauhan dynasty till 1193 AD. Prithviraj Chauhan, the last Hindu ruler of Delhi, lost Ajmer to Muhammed Ghori. After defeating Prithviraj Chauhan, Muhammad of Gauri went on to established an empire, with its capital at Delhi. He controlled much of Northern and central India. Muhammad further expressed his intentions of promoting Islam to convert "the land of the idols". Muhammad's Islamic ambitions have made Ajmer truly a unique town; here Hinduism and Islam coexist peacefully today, with temples and mosques within a short distance of each other.

After the defeat of Prithviraj Chauhan in 1193 A.D. Ajmer became a part of the Delhi Sultanate. However, Rana Kumbha of Mewar and Raja Maldeo of Marwar later reestablished Rajput rule over Ajmer. From then onwards Ajmer was coveted by Rajputs, Mughals and Marathas and witnessed many battles.

Today, the town is a melange of the two religions, with the holy Pushkar temples on one hand and the Dargah (tomb-shrine) of Khwaja Moinuddin Chisti on the other. Ajmer is now world famous for the shrine of the Sufi Saint Khwaja Moinuddin Chisti. Even the all-powerful Mughal emperors came here to pay their homage. The Dargah is a hive of activity all through the year as people of all religions come here. Within the shrine complex are two massive cauldrons, for donations. Qawwali, the famous Sufi singing, is a regular feature within the shrine.

Pushkar:-

Pushkar is a fantastic interplay of history and mythology that makes it worthwhile to travel to this holy destination of Rajasthan.

According to lore, the city of Pushkar came into being After a battle between Lord Brahma and a demon named Vajra Nabh. After the demon was killed by Brahma with the help of a lotus flower, three petals floated down to Earth and landed in Pushkar leading to the creation of the three lakes of Pushkar.

Recorded history shows that Pushkar was a favorite retreat of the Mughal rulers, which was later taken over by the Scindias after the eventual decline of the Mughal rule. The Scindias handed over the city to the British thus making Pushkar one of the few places in Rajasthan to be under direct British control, until Independence.
