Historical place. But beware of these so called mulla. They sit just backside of the tomb and they have few piece of cloth which they say u can buy and They say the amt goes for donation (poor people) for near by village. Which I doubt. They ask u around 2000 rs.and try to given a piece of cloth worth 20 rs. Better avoid this place.
Make sure you take your own chadar/offerings. The vendors there would as for as high as 2-3k
Here akbar wished for a son (salim)and it was granted from then people belive that theire three wishes would be granted if they knot a thread there .!!
Nice place. However, the guide will be more focused on making you buy a Chadar for Dargah even if you don't want to, than telling about the place itself. Just beware of such guides, you don't really need one here. Sorry to say, but after visiting this place, I lost all my interest in visiting the Dargah of Ajmer due to the above-mentioned experience.
The Tomb of Salim Chishti is famed as one of the finest examples of Mughal architecture in India, built during the years 1580 and 1581, along with the imperial complex at Fatehpur Sikri near Zenana Rauza and facing south towards Buland Darwaza, within the quadrangle of the Jama Masjid which measures 350 ft. by 440 ft.It enshrines the burial place of the Sufi saint, Salim Chisti (1478 – 1572), a descendant of Khwaja Moinuddin Chishti of Ajmer, and who lived in a cavern on the ridge at Sikri. The mausoleum, constructed by Akbar as a mark of his respect for the Sufi saint, who foretold the birth of Akbar's son, who was named as Prince Salim after the Sufi Saint and later jahangir succeeded Akbar to the throne of the Mughal Empire
