Ajmer Sharif Dargah

Ajmer Sharif Dargah — the shrine of 13th-century Sufi saint Khwaja Moinuddin Chishti — is India's most important Islamic pilgrimage site, drawing over 3 million visitors annually of all faiths, including Hindus and Christians. The massive silver-doored complex with its white marble shrines, the Buland Darwaza, and the fragrance of incense and rose petals create an overwhelmingly spiritual atmosphere. The annual Urs festival (death anniversary, May–June) draws hundreds of thousands. Free entry.
