The Dargah of Saint Khwaja Moinuddin Chishti ( Gharib Nawaz : Benefactor of the Poor), commonly known as Ajmer Sharief Dargah or simply Ajmer Sharief, is an international Waqf, an Islamic Mortmain , managed by the Government of India. Ajmer Sharif Dargah consists of several white marble buildings arranged around two courtyards, including a massive gate donated by the Nizam of Hyderabad. The Akbari Mosque, inside the Dargah was built by the Mughal Emperor Shah Jahan. This Mosque contains the tomb of the Saint. The great Mughal Emperor Akbar and his queen, used to come here by foot on pilgrimage, from Agra every year, in observance of a vow when they prayed for a son. There is an old saying, that people who visit Ajmer Sharif and pray with pure faith and loyalty at his Dargah, will be eternally liberated from the miseries of this world. Devotees from all Faiths in India visit this Dargah with utmost devotion.

India, The Motherland of Sanathana Dharma / सनातन धर्म / Universal Religion, is truly a Mystery, an Enigma, for every single visitor, from around the globe. The more we dive into Indian Culture, Indian Heritage, Indian Spirituality, Indian Secularism, the more firm & more solid becomes our Inner Realization, that 'The Great God Almighty' is Truly Beginningless, Truly Endless, with Unfathomable, Unexplorable, Unimaginable, Infinite Glory.
And the enlightened 'Ancients' of this most 'Ancient Oriental Civilization' firmly believed, that at the root of this 'Infinity' and 'Infinite Names', 'He', 'She', or 'It' or 'The Ultimate Reality' is Just One & One Alone.
