Ajmer, Pilgrimage city in Rajasthan, India

Located at an elevation of 486 meters in northwestern India, Ajmer extends across the lower slopes of Taragarh Hill within the Aravalli Mountain range.

Founded in the 7th century by Rajput king Ajay Pal Chauhan, Ajmer transformed from a Delhi Sultanate territory to a Mughal stronghold and later became part of British India.

The Ajmer Sharif Dargah, housing the tomb of Sufi saint Khwaja Moinuddin Chishti, attracts thousands of pilgrims during the annual Urs festival in the seventh month.

The city functions as a central transportation hub with railway connections to major Indian cities and serves as an educational center with numerous institutions.

Ana Sagar Lake features marble pavilions constructed during Shah Jahan's reign, while the ancient Jain temple converted into a mosque represents architectural transformation.
