Updated: Nov 22

In the examination of Ajmer, the imposing Ajmer Sharif Dargah is no doubt the wow factor of the city. Wait a minute! There is no need to hurry in folding your bags.


The city has yet another historical were worth of your time—Adhai Din ka Jhopra. The next time you need to say this building’s name out loud, brace yourself because its history sounds like a fairy tale from a strange land and era.


Adhai Din Ka Jhonpra In Ajmer

The name is in itself beautiful and enticing. Let us start with the name. “Adhai Din ka Jhopra” A Beautiful Mousque is sound intriguing.


It even gets more interesting as per the legend the structure was completed, wait for it, in a record breaking two and a half days! I know two and a half days sounds highly unrealistic however, these very words have been tattooed in the minds of many great historians.


What adds more to the intrigue is that it is almost like a fusion mix since there are Indian and Islamic styles blended together.


The seven-arched screen which has Quranic verses inscribed on them will be most likely the first area to draw your attention.

The beauty of the structure does not end at its design alone, one can’t miss the fact that the pillars as well as arches and screens have decorative detailing too. But please, let me capture the moment. So to tell you the truth moving forward during the history all the walls would now be bulging with numerous papules, and all of these were meant to be expected to bear the oral representation of a story.
