Once upon a time, this used to be a Sanskrit college that was graced by a temple dedicated to Saraswati. Since then, stories have been weaved with the history of this monument. Some say it was a Jain college, or the origin of the name is uncertain.
However, historians agree that Mohammad Ghori ordered Qutbuddin Aibak to build a mosque in two and a half days. A screen wall was constructed so that the Sultan could offer his prayers in privacy. The mosque was completed in 1199; but Qutbuddin Aibak’s successor, Iltumish, constructed a screened wall with arches and inscriptions. Riddled with mystery, this monument is right at the top of the list of Ajmer tourist places.
