Ajmer is located 132 kilometers to the west of Jaipur in the picturesque hills of the Aravalli ranges. During the 7th century, Ajmer was founded as a fort on a hill located on the trade route between Delhi and the ports of Gujarat. Due to Ajmer's strategic location at the transition of the Aravalli Mountains to the Thar Desert, it remained the destination of Islamic conquerors.

Raja Chauhan founded the city of Ajmer. The clan of the Chauhans ruled here until the late 12th century, when Arabian invader Mohammed of Ghori conquered it and Ajmer became a part of the Sultanat (empire) of Delhi. The sultans of Gujarat along with the rulers of Udaipur and Jaipur fought constantly with the sultans of Delhi to acquire Ajmer. During 1556 it was annexed by Mughal emperor Akbar, who established Ajmer as an important Muslim center in a Hindu state of Rajasthan.

The tomb was completed in the 16th century by Mughal emperor Humayun. The grand entrance gate was a gift from the Nizam (king) of Hyderabad. In the complex one finds next to the tomb of the holy Sufi Saint other tombs and two mosques. Ajmer is considered the Mecca of India.

The oldest building in Ajmer is the Arhai-Dinka-Jhonpra mosque that was built on the ruins of the Hindu shrines. This masterpiece of indo-Islamic architecture lies on the outskirts of the city. As the legend goes, its construction, in 1153, took two and a half days (Adhai-din) to complete as its name indicates. To the northeast of the city, on the bank of the Ana Sagar Lake (reservoir), four marble pavilions (Baradari) of the palace enclosures of the Mughal emperor Shah Jahan still exist in good condition.
