The interesting place in Rajasthan to visit is Dargah Ajmer Sharif. Started by Akbar and completed by Humayun, it embodies Sufi tradition founded in India by Khwaja Moinuddin Chishti who reached Ajmer in 1190 AD. Intricate metal carvings, confluence of rich colors, heaped rose petals, satin drapes laced with dazzling zardozi, melodious Sufi chants and more than eager khadims attendants is what the tomb dargah has turned to due to its phenomenal popularity as a pilgrimage site amongst the adherents of Islam.
Its massive gateway donated by Nizam of Hyderabad, a mosque in signature white by Shah Jehan, Akbar's Masjid, dome of the saint are grandeurs that await the eyes. Tradition has it that if your wish comes true, you must return to the dargah to offer your thanks. And if you are lucky to bump into a Qawwali Sufi singing gathering, your trip will take on a euphoric plane altogether.
