Tuorist Places in Ajmer
DARGAH SHARIF
 Dargah Sharif is the Shrine of the 12th-century Muslim saint, Khawja Mouin-Ud-Din Chisti, perhaps the most important Muslim Shrine in the entire Indian Subcontinent. The Saint was greatly venerated by the Mughal emperors, and Emperor Akbar is said to have made two pilgrimages here on foot all the way from Agra: once when an heir was finally born to him, to fulfill a vow that he had made and again when he won against Chittor. The Shrine is believed by people of different faiths to have the power to make their prayers come true.
During the Saint's Urs, Celebrated between the first and sixth of Rajab, the seventh month of the lunar calendar, ten thousands of pilgrims come here from all over the subcontinent . Female pilgrims often sweep the shrine's courtyard with their long hair-as the Mughal princess, Jehanara, is said to have once done when a prayer she made here was fulfilled.
