The dargah goes by many names—Ajmer Dargah, Ajmer Sharif Dargah, and Dargah Sharif. It houses the remains of an influential Sufi healer, Khwaja Moinuddin Chishti, from Persia that visited Ajmer. It is a beautiful white marble dargah adorned with Persian inscriptions. What catches your eye from the outside is the marble dome and the 11 arches that surround it.
Inside, the actual tomb is surrounded by a silver platform. Every year it is cleansed with rosewater and sandalwood during the death anniversary of the saint. This is when Ajmer lights up for the Urs festival. Qawwalis are sung in the honour of the saint and kheer is served to the devotees. If you are in town in March, this is one of the places to go to Ajmer.
