Description

Gently cradled amongst the Aravalli ranges, in the heart of the Western Indian state of Rajasthan, is the picturesque town of Ajmer. A virtual melting pot of myriad Indian communities, Ajmer has retained a secular ethos with a tranquil co-existence of Hindus, Muslims, Christians, Parsis and Jains. The age-old fusion of cultural sensibilities has resulted in a melange of rich heritage sites with some unique architectural marvels, resonating with a rich past. Founded by Raja Ajaimeru, Ajmer was once the stronghold of Prithviraj Chauhan, India’s last great Hindu ruler. .
