Dargah Sharif or Ajmer Sharif is the tomb of a sufi saint, Khwaja Moinuddin Chishti, who came to Ajmer from Persia in 1192. Hazrat Khwaja Moinuddin Hasan Chishti occupies a prominent place amongst the spiritual healers of the world. Constructed with a white marble, it has 11 arches and a Persian inscription running through the full length of the building. It has a marble dome and the actual tomb inside is surrounded by a silver platform. The tomb attracts hundreds of thousands of pilgrims every year on the death anniversary of the saint.
People from every religion, caste, creed come here and offer a traditional "chadar" to seek blessings of this Sufi saint. Nothing can beat the "qawwali" at Khwaja Garib Nawaz Dargah which has a magical power that rarely leaves any member of the audience un-touched. Due to its charitable work, the shrine is commonly known as Gharib Nawaz, the benefactor of the poor.
Not only the common people, even the mighty kings of India, both Muslim and Hindu, have paid their homage to the great saint.
