Abstract

Abstract Ajmer, one of Rajasthan’s most historically vibrant districts, epitomizes a unique blend of political evolution and spiritual coexistence. This paper traces the city’s urban transformation from its Chauhan foundations to Mughal centrality and British modernization. It also assesses the cultural and religious significance of major sacred sites such as Dargah Sharif, Adhai Din Ka Jhonpra, and the Brahma Temple at Pushkar. Using qualitative-historical methods — including archival study, field observation, and thematic interpretation — the study highlights how Ajmer’s urban morphology mirrors its layered past and how its sacred sites continue to foster interfaith harmony. Findings affirm Ajmer’s role as both a historical capital and a living model of religious pluralism.
