Urs Ajmer Shariff |
 |
 The Urs Ajmer Shariff festival is an annual affair that is held in memory of the highly revered Sufi saint Moin-ud-din Chisti. During this festival, the holy city of Ajmer becomes a hotbed of activity with people of different faiths from all over the sub continent converging here to pay their respects to their revered saint. In fact, the Urs Ajmer Shariff is an event that cuts across all barriers of religion and class.
The dargah where Saint Moin-ud-din Chisti's mortal remains lie buried is one of the most important pilgrimage sites in India. During the Urs festival devotees who come from far and wide make rich offerings at the dargah and invoke the saint's blessings.
As the strains of Qawwali pervade the air, the whole of Ajmer dons a festive look with people of all faiths coming together to preach the message of love and humanity to everyone around. This colorful festival is one of the most important events in Rajasthan and if you want to be a part of this grand tribute to humanity, don't forget to visit Ajmer during the next edition.
