"Holy Sufi Shrine"

Often called Gharib Nawaz, Hazrat Khwaja Muinuddin Chisht was a Sufi Saint who came to India from Iran, and the Dargah Shariff in Ajmer, named after him, is considered to be one of the holiest shrines in India to Muslims. One can reach the main archway marking the entrance to the Dargah Complex, by passing through the narrow Nala Bazaar which is flanked by little shops on both sides. This humongous archway is called buland darwaza and leads to various tombs, courtyards and smaller shrines, one of them being the Akbari Masjid; named after the Mughal ruler himself, who as the legend goes, was a staunch believer in Khwaja Muinuddin Chishti. The focal point of the complex is however, the tomb of Gharib Nawaz, which is decorated with heaps of rose petals and a chaadar; a piece of cloth that is used to cover the tomb and is usually of exquisite design. It is a popular belief that those making an offering at this tomb, can have their wishes come true. Should you visit this shrine while in Ajmer, make sure to follow the strict dress code, like covering your head completely.
