Where to cultures meet. Temples and mosques within a short distance of each other. The harmonious blend of Hinduism and Islam gives this town a unique character. Ajmer was founded by Raja Ajai Pal Chouhan in the 7th century AD. The Chauhans reigned here till 1193 AD. Prithviraj Chauhan, the last Hindu ruler of Delhi lost it to Muhammed Ghori. Ajmer still whispers the romantic legend surrounding this last ruler. After this lion-hearted ruler lost Ajmer to Muhammed Ghori, it became a part Ajmer of the Delhi Sultanate. However, Rana Kumbha of Mewar and Raja Maldeo of Marwar once again established Rajput rule over Ajmer.

From then onwards Ajmer-coveted by Rajputs, Mughals and Marathas-witnessed many battles.
Today, the place is a holy integration of two religions with the holy Pushkar temples on one hand and the Dargah of Khwaja Moinuddin Chisti on the other.
