Sudden Trip To Ajmer Sharif (Hazrat Khwaja Moinuddin Chishty)

I hope you guys liked my first blog and thank you for your valuable comments and feedbacks. Today I am going to share my trip experience of world famous place which is known by several names "Ajmer Sharif, Hazrat Khwaja Moinuddin Chishty, Garib Nawaz".

It was Saturday, I got a call from one of my friend that he needs few stuff. I asked him to come to my room and picked them up. He came to my room around 8:00 PM and I came to know that he is going to Ajmer Sharif. I never been there and asked him what’s the plan, budget and for how many days he is going. He said, he is going with his friends and they will return by Monday morning. The budget was around 2000. After listening to his plan, I told him that “I am also coming with you”.

I packed my backpack and gave him the stuff he came for. We reached ISBT around 9:00 P.M. His friends were waiting for him. He introduced me with them and we took a bus for Amjer. This was also a budget trip so we took ordinary bus and by Delhi to Amjer is around 7-8 hrs journey. Initially, only formal conversation was happening between all of us. Everyone was talking about their respective office, work and all formal stuff. Around 1:00 A.M, bus halted on a Dhaba. We guys were hungry and the worst part was the Dhaba’s  food which was actually not good and not even they had a food menu. So, we just had coke and chips in dinner as we didn’t had any other option.

Early morning, halt was again on a local Dhaba. As we guys just had coke and chips last night so we all were hungry. I took a milk bottle (like amul cool) for me and my friend. While I was going to pay the amount, i asked him "bhaiya kitne hue", he said 150. I was shocked and told them "Bhai Sherni ka dhoodh hai kya". Everyone started laughing and shop keeper felt very bad. I gave him 100 bucks and we boarded the bus again. We reached Ajmer around 7:00 A.M. We took local auto from bus stand and reached Delhi Gate near dargah. We took a room for 2 hours and had some rest. After getting fresh we bought chaader and flower.

Dargah was full of people and it took us 1.30 mins to across the auspicious sight of holy Mazaar. Feeling was awesome and can’t be explained in words. It feels so very good, mind and heart will feel relaxed after having that auspicious sight of Mazaar.

Inside Dargah

Market Near Dargah

Ajmer's 'Red Meat' is very famous around the world. We had our food and went to the historical building around the dargah. Pushkar is around 40 KM from Ajmer because of time constraint we were unable to visit Pushkar. Pushkar is also one of the very famous place in Rajasthan. It is famous for Load Brahma's temple, Pushkar fair and Pushkar Lake.

While leaving from Ajmer to Delhi, we had decided to cover Jaipur also. We left around 2:30 P.M from Ajmer and reached Jaipur around 5 P.M. When we reached Jaipur we came to know that all the monuments are closed today apart from "Hawa Mahal". We dropped our plan to explore Jaipur and took bus for Delhi. We boarded the bus at 6:30 P.M and reached Delhi around 1:30 A.M.

Suggestion

Who am I to suggest anyone to visit the Dargah. You will visit the dargah when Hazrat Khwaja Moinuddin Chishty will call you. But try to visit dargah in Monsoon, autumn, pre-winter and winter.
