Ajmer SHARIF DARGAH || Rajasthan INDIA 🇮🇳

The holiest sufi shrine (dargah) in India is located in Rajasthan.

Moinuddin Chishti was a 13th-century sufi mystic saint and philosopher. Born in Sanjar (modern day Iran), or in Sijistan.

He travelled from Sistan to India to seek refuge from the increasing prevalence of Mongol military action in central Asia at that point in time.

It was during his time in Ajmer that Muʿīn al-Dīn acquired the reputation of being a charismatic and compassionate spiritual preacher and teacher; and biographical accounts of his life written after his death report that he received the gifts of many "spiritual marvels (karāmāt), such as miraculous travel, clairvoyance, and visions of angels" in these years of his life. Muʿīn al-Dīn seems to have been unanimously regarded as a great saint after his passing.

The dargah has been a site for pilgrims belonging to Hinduism and Islam since medieval times and also attracts Jains and Sikhs. Pilgrims come here from around the world and offer chaddars (sacred sheets) to the shrine. Pilgrims also offer rose petals, which total up to seven tonnes per day. Women are allowed to enter the dargah. It has been estimated that around 20,000 pilgrims visit the site every day.

A song in the 2008 film Jodhaa Akbar named "Khwaja Mere Khwaja," composed by A. R. Rahman, pays tribute to Muʿīn al-Dīn Chishtī.

Various qawalis have been portrayed ample of melodies and famous Qawalas including Ustad Nusrat Fateh Ali Khan Sahab's Khwaja E khwajgan and The Sabri Brothers Khawaja Ki Deewani.
