Glimpses From History
The city was a major trade route between Delhi and Gujarat's ports. Founded by Ajaipal Singh Chauhan in the 7th century, the city has witnessed many interesting historical upheavals. Ajaipal built a hill fort and and coined the term Ajaimeru meaning “Invincible Hill”. Prithiviraj Chauhan strongly held Ajmer till 12th century. Then the city was conquered by Mohammad Ghori in 1193 A.D., who founded the Delhi Sultanate in the same year. However, the internal administration was looked after by Chauhans in lieu of paying heavy tributes to the conquerers.

The city slipped into oblivion for next few centuries. It was Akbar who annexed Ajmer as a part of Mughal empire in the 16th century. Initially it served as a military base for Mughals and later it transformed itself to a pilgrimage for Muslims. Many empresses and princesses used to spend time here. Nur Jahan, for instance, has cultivated roses for the making of her favorite attar. Also famous is the variety of betel leaves.

With the due passage of time, the city was eventually were in hands of Scindias and in 1818 was handed down to British.
