Ajmer has remained throughout, a great center of pilgrimage for both Hindus and Muslims. And it is this feature that gives the city its character and lends it importance. Ajmer is a true amalgam of two rich culture, the Hindu and the Islamic. The sacred lake of Pushkar, believed by Hindus to be as old as creation has the extant Temple of Brahma, and Pushkar has been a place of pilgrimage throughout the history of India. The great Muslim divine Khwaja Moihuddin Chishti of Persia is buried here and his Dargah is equally sacred for the followers of Islam. Emperor Akbar made an annual visit to the shrine of the Saint, sometimes on foot, as any ordinary pilgrim would.

The
strategic position of this city, has led to its turbulent history. Ajmer is connected
to Delhi, Agra and Jaipur by main highways and hold the key to Gujarat and Malwa.
It was a great center of Chauhan power along with the twin capital of Delhi, but
after Prithviraj Chauhan was defeated by Sultan Mohammed Ghori (1193), it had
a chequered and violent history.
THE
DARGAH 
An
interesting drive, 11 kms. to the west, takes one through a mountain pass to the
holy lake of Pushkar. One of the mountains on this pass is called Nag Pahar or
Snake mountain where the Panchkund and cave of Saint Aghast Rishi is located.
It is said that kalidasa, the 4th century Sanskrit poet play-writing, placed the
action of his masterpiece 'Shakuntala' in this forest hermitage. The lake has
legendary origins. A lotus fell from the hand of lord Brahma and dropped into
this valley. A lake sprang up on the spot, and was dedicated to him.
