Ajmer Sharif Dargah – A Symbol of Spiritual Unity

Located in the heart of the city of Ajmer in Rajasthan, Ajmer Sharif Dargah is one of the most revered Sufi shrines in India. It is the abode of the great Sufi saint Hazrat Khwaja Moinuddin Chishti, also known as Gareeb Nawaz (helper of the poor). The dargah attracts millions of devotees every year — regardless of religion, caste or background — and is considered a symbol of communal harmony and spiritual unity.

From celebrities and politicians to common people seeking peace and blessings, Khwaja Saheb’s dargah is a holy place where prayers are offered and miracles are believed to happen.

Historical Significance

Hazrat Khwaja Moinuddin Chishti came to India in the 12th century and settled in Ajmer, where he spent his life serving humanity and spreading Islam’s message of love, humility and compassion. After he died in 1236 AD, a mausoleum was built on his grave, which over time became a major Sufi pilgrimage site.

The fame of this dargah grew further during the Mughal period, and Emperor Akbar was its ardent devotee. Many parts of the dargah complex were built by the Mughal rulers; prominent among them are the magnificent Buland Darwaza and the Akbari Mosque.

Spiritual Atmosphere and Beliefs

As soon as one enters the dargah, one experiences a deep peace and spirituality. Devotees believe that wishes made with a true heart are fulfilled here. People tie a thread on the Jannati Darwaza and offer chadar, flowers, and incense sticks.

The Qawwali sessions in the evening are one of the most emotional moments, when the tunes of Sufi music reverberate in the courtyard and touch every heart.

Architectural Beauty

Ajmer Sharif Dargah is a wonderful amalgamation of Mughal and Indo-Islamic architecture. The white marble shrine is decorated with a silver railing and a gold crown. The major landmarks of the dargah complex include:

  • Buland Darwaza – the huge gateway leading to the main shrine
  • Degh – huge cauldrons in which food is cooked and distributed to the poor
  • Nizam Gate – built by the Nizams of Hyderabad
  • Aulia Masjid and Shahjahani Masjid – beautiful mosques from the Mughal period
