We will see a lot of Masjids in and around the Ajmer Dargah Sherief compound; but among these mosques, only one Masjid belongs to Seyyid Khwaja Mueenuddin Chisty. The second important monument in the tourist map of Ajmer, after Dargah Sherief is called Adhai din ka Jhonpra; where the Gareeb Navaz lead the Jumua-Jamaath as the Imam. Here no loudspeaker is being used for any one of the ibadaths. The Muezzin will call Adhan for Namaz standing on a stone in front of the Masjid, with his natuaral voice. This Masjid is situated just half Kilometer far from the Dargah Main gate on the way (foot path) to Tharagarh. Now read the article given below................ (SYF)
Ajmer is a renowned vacation spot of Rajasthan wealthy of numerous historical monuments and tombs of past. Adhai Din-ka-Jhonpra is a delicate instance of early Indo-Islamic architecture, designed by Abu Bakr. As the name suggests the monument was completed within two and a half days under the supervision of Mohammad Ghori. Constructed in 1198 A.D, Adhai Din Ka Jhonpra was deftly decorated over an already existing structure that housed an ancient center of Sanskrit learning. The monument was the only popular mosque in Ajmer right from the Mughal period. The beautifully carved pillars, arched screen and ruined minarets make the tomb one of the mostly visited places in Rajasthan.

The arched walls of the mosque had inscriptions with Islamic scripts; however most of them exist in ruins only. A majestic tower remarkably sited just inside the mosque that is used by the Muezzin to chant prayers. The stone walls of the main prayer hall are fashioned with carved rectangular panels having net like appearance on it. Avoiding the diversities of the monument, the arches and pillars have been mingled perfectly to create an optimum architectural masterpiece. This quadrangle pedestal mosque has adorned with front screen wall with pointed arches. Visitor easily gets resemblance between Adhai Din Ka Jhonpra with two and a half day fair held at Ajmer every year.
