Pushkar Full day at the fair. Built as 'an explosion of

photographic opportunities and is a great chance to see Rajasthani women
decked up in all their traditional jewellery, dress and finery. Temple music
wafts through the night, as the fires die down and the Rajasthani melodies
played on the stringed ek-tara come to a close. On the night of the full
moon, the pilgrims bathe in the moonlight, then send marigold and rose
petals floating across the lake on green plate-like leaves. It is worth
getting up early to see the camels and tribes rousing themselves in the pink
of the dawn desert light.

Pushkar - Ajmer - Delhi Morning drive to

Ajmer is a green oasis on the shore of
Ana Sagar Lake, hemmed in by
barren hills. Historically, Ajmer has always had great strategic importance.
It was founded in 7th century by
Ajaipal Chauhan. He named it
Ajaimeru
the 'invincible hill', because here he raised Taragarh, India's first hill
fort. The city's Muslim history began when Prithviraj Chauhan lost Ajmer to
Sultan Muhammad Ghori in 1193 A.D. The Persian saint Khwaja Moinuddin
Chishti who came with Muhammad Ghori from Persia in 1192 settled here. Thus
the place where he was buried is today known as the
Dargah Sharif.
Construction of the shrine was completed by Humayun and the gates were added
by the Nizam of Hyderabad. Later Shah Jahan constructed a mosque of white
marble, it has 11 arches and a Persian inscription running the full length
of the building. Beyond the Dargah is the
Adhai din ka Jhonpra an
ancient Sanskrit college, which was converted into mosque in 1198 and
remains one of the finest monuments of medieval India.
