Taragarh Fort
The Taragarh Fort (Star Fort) was built during 7th century by Ajaipal Chauhan , the founder of the city of Ajmer. Perched on a high hill, the fort offers a breathtaking view of Ajmer city.
Adhai-Din-Ka-Jhonpra
The Adhai-Din-Ka-Jhonpra is a small and beautiful mosque, situated on the outskirts of Ajmer. Built by Alauddin Khilji, a Delhi Sultant king, it's one of the finest examples of Indo-Islamic architecture. The mosque is built on pillars and surprisingly no two pillars are alike. Its archways and the pillars are finely engraved with Kufi and Jughra inscriptions from the holy Quran.
Ana Sagar Lake
A beautiful artificial lake, Ana Sagar Lake was built by Anaji between 1135-1150 AD. Later the Mughal Emperors made additional constructions to beautify the Lake. While the Baradari, a beautiful marble pavilion, was built by Shah Jehan, Jehangir added the Daulat Bagh Gardens.
