A Brief History
Situated in the heart of the Rajasthan desert, Ajmer offers a compatible blend of Sufi
culture and Hindu religion.
For long, Ajmer was always a politically and spiritually
important centre for the Rajputs, the Mughals and the Marathas.
It was the seat of
administration for the Chauhans till, in 1193, the army of Mohammad Ghori defeated
Prithviraj Chauhan.
Thereafter, it became a part of the Sultanate of Delhi.
However, the Rajputs regained the control of the city with the crusades of Rana
Kumbha of Mewar and Raja Maldeo.
Now, Ajmer is an important spiritual and cultural centre of India and people from all
walks and religions of life throng to the city to seek the blessings of Hazrat Khwaja
