Ajmer, known as Ajeya Meru during ancient times, has been a historical city, nestled amidst the hills of Aravali. Earlier it was capital of the prominent dynasty of Chouhans. Later Muslim invasions caused havoc here. Many of its monuments, basically ancient temples were razed to the ground but still ancient fort and palace of Taragarh tells the story of glorious past of Ajmer. Ajmer Sharif is another tourist attraction, especially for the Muslim faithful and zealots. Anasagar, Adhai Din Ka Jhopada etc are other worth watching places or monuments.
