Ajmer Geography

The eastern portion of the district is generally flat, broken only by gentle undulations, but the western parts,

from north-west to south-west, are intersected by the great Aravalli Range. Many of the valleys in this

region are sandy deserts, part of India's Thar Desert, with an occasional oasis of cultivation, but there are

also some very fertile tracts; among these is the plain on which lies the town of Ajmer. This valley, however,

is not only fortunate in possessing a noble artificial lake, but is protected by the massive walls of the

 Nagpathar range or Serpent rock, which forms a barrier against the sand. The only hills in the district are the

Aravalli Range and its offshoots. Ajmer is almost totally devoid of rivers, the Banas  being the only stream

which can be dignified with that name, and it only touches the south-eastern boundary of the district so as to

irrigate the pargana of Samur. Four small streams — the Sagarmati, Saraswati, Khari and Dai — also intersect

the district. In the dry weather they are little more than brooks.

The district is divided into four subdivisions, Ajmer, Beawar , Kekri and Kishangarh, and further subdivided

into six tehsils, Ajmer, Beawar,  Nasirabad, India, Kekri, Kishangarh.

Ajmer 

Ajmer (Rajasthani:   , pronounced [ədʒmeːr]  (  listen)), formerly written Ajmere, is a city in Ajmer 

District in India's Rajasthan state. Ajmer is located 135 kilometres (84 mi) west to state capital Jaipur . Being

surrounded by the Aravalli Mountains, Ajmer, also known as Ajaymeru, was the city once ruled by

Prithviraj Chauhan. Its population was approximately 500,000 in 2001. The city gives its name to Ajmer 

district, and also to a former province of  British India called Ajmer-Merwara, which, after India's

independence, became the state of Ajmer. On November 1, 1956, it was merged into Rajasthan state.

Bhopal, Gwalior , Jabalpur , Ujjain,  Nagpur , Pune, Patna, Lucknow etc. The station is the origin for many far

Amritsar Pooja Express etc.

History

Main article: Ajmer region 

Prithvi Raj Chauhan of Ajmer

Ajmer (Ajaya-meru in Sanskrit) was founded in the late seventh century by Dushyant Chauhan. He

established the Chauhan dynasty which continued to rule the country while repeated waves of Turkish

invasions swept across India. Ajmer was conquered by Muhammad of Ghor , founder of the Delhi Sultanate, 

in 1193. Its internal government, however, was handed over to the Chauhan rulers upon the payment of a

heavy tribute to the conquerors. Ajmer then remained feudatory to Delhi until 1365, when it was captured by

the ruler of  Mewar . In 1509 Ajmer became a source of contention between the Maharajas of Mewar and

Marwar , and was ultimately conquered by the Marwar ruler in 1532. Ajmer was conquered by the Mughal 

emperor Akbar in 1559. It continued to be in the hands of the Mughals, with occasional revolts, until 1770,

when it was sold to the Marathas. From that time up to 1818 Ajmer was the scene of an ongoing struggle,

 being seized at different times by the Mewar and the Marwar maharajas, from whom it was often retaken bythe Marathas. In 1818 the Marathas sold Ajmer to the East India Company for 50,000 rupees. Since then

Ajmer has enjoyed stable governance, although during the 1857 War of Independence some Indian sepoys at

the garrison in the nearby town of Nasirabad joined the revolt. Under the British Raj, Ajmer was governed

 by an Agent to the Governor General overseeing Rajputana. After independence in 1947, Ajmer retained its

 position as a centrally administrated state under a Chief Commissioner for some time. Ajmer was eventually

merged with the State of Rajasthan.

Places of interest

The main places of interest are the Dargāh, tomb of the most revered Muslim sufi saint Mu'īnuddīn Chishtī , 

known as Gharīb Nawāz , or 'Benefactor of the Poor', and Pushkar . 

The Pushkar Lake

http://slidepdf.com/reader/full/list-of-districts-of-rajasthan 4/8

Pushkar is a town in the state of Rajasthan in India near Ajmer, about 23 Kilometers away, and is animportant tourist destination. Pushkar is famous for the Pushkar Lake and the 14th century Brahma temple 

dedicated to Brahma, the godhead of the Hindu pantheon supposed to be the creator of the universe. This is

the most celebrated site for the worship of Brahma. Pushkar is also famous for its annual  Pushkar Camel

Fair . 

The Dargah of  Sufi saint Moinuddin Chishti

The Dargāh Sharīf  of Khwāja Mu'īnuddīn Chishtī  is situated at the foot of the Tārāgaṛh hill, and consists of several white marble buildings arranged around two courtyards, including a massive gate donated by the

 Nizām of  Hyderabad, a mosque donated by the Mughal emperor  Shāh Jahān, the Akbarī  Mosque, and the

domed tomb of the saint. The Emperor  Akbar , with his queen, used to come here by foot on pilgrimage from

Agra every year in observance of a vow he had made when praying for a son. The large pillars called

kose(Mile) Minar , erected at intervals of two miles (3 km) the whole way between Agra and Ajmer,

marking the daily halting places of the royal pilgrim, are still extant.

Tārāgaṛh Fort, the fort of Ajmer, seat of the Chauhān rulers, is claimed to be the first hill fort of Asia, built

at a time when the Aravalli mountain ranges were above the snowlines. This gives it the reputation of being

one of the oldest hill forts of the world, and it is definitely the oldest among the hill forts in India. It was built by King Ajāypāl Chauhān on the summit of Tārāgaṛh Hill, overlooking Ajmer; its thick battlements run

along its brow, completely enclosing the table-land. The walls are two miles (3 km) in circumference, and

the fort can only be approached by steep and very roughly paved slopes. When it came into the hands of the

British Raj, the fort was dismantled by order of Lord William Bentinck , and was converted into asanatorium for the troops stationed at the British cantonment town of   Nasirabad. 

The Aḍhāī Din kā Jhonpṛā, a Vaishnava Hindu temple constructed in 1153 and converted into a mosque

 by Quṭbuddīn Aybak  after 1193, is situated on the lower slope of the Tārāgarh hill, additions were made to

the mosque between 1220 and 1229 by Aikbak's successor, by Shams al-Din Iltutmish. It is also noted for its

double-depth calligraphy inscriptions, in  Naskh and Kufic scripts . With the exception of that part used as a

mosque, called Jāma' Iltutmish (pronounced Altamish locally), nearly the whole of the ancient temple hasfallen into ruins, but the relics are not excelled in beauty of architecture and sculpture by any remains of 

Hindu art. Forty columns support the roof, but no two are alike, and exceptional creativity is shown in the

execution of the ornaments.[1] 

The Magazine, the city's Museum, was once the residence of Prince Salīm, son of the Emperor  Akbar , and

 presently houses a collection of the Mughal and Rajput armour and sculpture. This residence of Salīm is

significant from a historical point of view, because Salīm as Emperor  Jahāngīr  read out the firman for trade

to India to the British East India Company from here, thus starting the chain of events that lead to India's

colonisation by the British.

Mayo College was established in 1875 by Lord Mayo, Viceroy of India. The architecture of the school buildings evoke the grandeur of erstwhile princely Rajasthan. The main building of the school, in white

marble, is a classic example of  Indo-Saracenic architecture, and the design now lies in the archives of the

British Museum in London.[2] 

the Baradari on Anasāgar Lake.The Anasāgar Lake. 

The Anasāgar Lake. This historic man-made lake Ana Sagar lake was constructed by Maharaja Anaji(1135-1150 AD), the grandfather of Maharaja Prithvirāj Chauhān. By the lake is the Daulat Bāgh, a garden

laid out by Emperor Jahāngīr. Emperor Shāh Jahān later added five pavilions, known as the Baradari,

 between the garden and the lake.
