Emperor Akbar had built the dargah and gifted 200 bighas of land for meeting its expenses. |
Ajmer, the heart of the state is famous as Khwaja ki Nagri where the dargah of Khwaja Moinuddin Chisti attracts lakhs of pilgrims from all faiths. |
However many parts of the land were appropriated by the government on one pretext or the other and no compensation, though promised, was paid to the dargah. |
The village's only provision store also stands next to the dargah and is well stocked with popular brands of food products. |
Inside the village, I found the first sign of life at the dargah of Ma Hajiani, sacred to the wealthy Dawoodi Bohra community. |
The Ajmer Dargah Committee looks after the dargah of the sufi saint Hazrat Khwaja Moinuddin Chishti. |
