The Sufi music adds to the soulful environment. Visiting Ajmer Dargah is not just a religious journey but a cultural and spiritual one too

"Khwaja Gareeb Nawaz Dargah: A sacred site at Ajmer Sharif, exuding spirituality, peace, and divine energy. Highly recommended pilgrimage."

My visit to Ajmer Sharif was a spiritually enriching experience. The aura of the shrine is undoubtedly divine, welcoming people of all religions. However, finding parking can be a challenge due to narrow lanes, and the market area can get quite crowded. The availability of private parking for a reasonable fee of Rs 100 was convenient. It's worth noting that while most priests seek donations, there's no obligation. The walk to the shrine adds to the pilgrimage feel. But considering the crowd be watchful of your belongings, kids etc. One need to cover the head and place slippers randomly at some place (no proper arrangement). Please go with a free mind and don't get bogged down by priests asking for donations.

Wow, such a beautiful place to visit. You can offer flowers to both the dargahs inside. There are price ranges from 50rupees to 500. People inside that dargah ask you for money and don't give much but 50 bucks is enough. Carry enough transitions it will be fine. I ate famously Maal Puri from Khasim Ali shop it's right there near the entrance. It was good. Half kg is 130 rupees

Khwaja Garib Nawaz At the time of the birth of Moinuddin Chishti, Sistan, East Persia, was facing plunders and bloodsheds. These intruders took advantage of Sultan Sanjar's weak administration. The people's lives and honour were always in threat. The Muslim nation's followers had been completely crushed by the ferocious Tartars. They outraged mankind in nearly every center of Muslim civilization and culture, which dates back 600 years. Because of such situations father of khwaja Moinuddin, khawaja Ghiyasuddin Hasan, One day decided to pack his belongings and left Sistan for a safer location. He moved to Neshapur, the capital city, with his family. There resided knowledgeable Ulama and respected Sufis who taught intellectuals from all over the world moral and spiritual enlightenment. There were physicians and painters with exceptional qualifications living there. There were lush gardens and canals, as well as fertile agricultural areas. Khawaja Ghiyasuddin Hasan is said to have purchased an orchard with a windmill in this area in order to settle down for a tranquil life heritage, the sack of Neshapur, coupled with the loss of his beloved parents, caused him to reflect deeply. Hazrat Khawaja Muinuddin Chishti was a descendant of the famous lineage of Hazrat Ali, the Holy Prophet Mohammed's son-in-law and cousin. His dad Syed Ghiyasuddin Hasan was a highly religious guy and a good man. According to historians, Khwaja Muinuddin Chishti showed early signs of his unique piety and willingness to sacrifice for others even as a youngster. When a lady with a baby came to meet his mother and the baby begged for food, the future newborn saint would make a sign to his mother to feed the weeping baby from her own breast. The sight of his mother doing this delighted Muinuddin much. He used to share his own meal with his playmates when he was 3 or 4 years old. Khawaja Muinuddin used to ruminate for hours on end about the heinous scenes of the Khorasan massacre, which he had been witnessing with great pain for several years since his youth. His interest in worldly life and pleasures was rapidly dwindling as a result of these tragic impressions. He was deeply concerned and yearned to be free of such a mad world if he could only see a way out.

Visiting this dargah is a part of spiritual upliftment that brings you peace and tranquility. However,I am completely disappointed with the so called khadims of this dargah who only care about money and that's it. They will give you only the slightest of recognition only if you give money, buy chaadar or flowers. Right from the start of the entrance till the mazaar is all about money. Before you enter, you have to pay for footwear, as soon you enter, people will heckle you to buy chaadar and what not, when you visit the shrine, the khaadims will command ( not request, not before, nothing)you to offer money as though without money your prayers will remain unanswered. Deeply disappointed with the state of affairs and administration of the dargah

The Ajmer Jain temple, also known as Soniji Ki Nasiyan, is an architecturally rich Jain temple. It was built in the late nineteenth century. The main chamber, known as the Swarna Nagari "City of Gold", has several gold-plated wooden figures, depicting several figures in the Jain religion. This golden chamber of the temple uses 1000 kg of gold to carve out a depiction of Ayodhya. Kurt Titze, in his book, "Jainism: A Pictorial Guide to the Religion of Non-Violence", writes on Soniji Ki Nasiyan: "Ajmer's main attraction is - for the Jainas - the prominently situated Nasiayan Digambara Temple, or rather the two-storied Svarana Nagara Hall behind the temple, better known as the Museum. Both the temple and the museum were built and are still owned by the Soni family of Ajmer. The temple, dedicated to Rishabha or Adinatha in 1865, was constructed of red sandstone in a matter of a few years, but it took twenty-five years, from 1870 to 1895, to fashion - by artisans at Jaipur - the thousands of individual parts required to assemble a three-dimensional replica of the story of Rishabha in accordance with an old manuscript by Acharya Jinasena.

Here, in a large hall, are some beautiful and in-depth parts of the history and mythology. Every single item is handcrafted, and the details are displayed with extreme care. If you're in Ajmer, you absolutely must go see it; it's very interesting.

Must visit for all the Jains visiting Ajmer. This is very near to Ajmer Junction. Only issue is of Parking. This is the one of the finest art work ever created in India. Also has a very old Jain temple in campus. It's a prime tourist spot in Ajmer. You can visit Nasiaji and then go to nareli which is also not far.

Very beautiful place. All the statues and sculptures are made with fine art. Because of this place we realised the value of are the past people respect. The golden colour shows richness of this gallery. You can able to observ the hole art from 1st & 2nd floor this is the special thing about this place.

Wonder of a place which has a Jain temple and also a display of Jain epics crafted out of 1000's of kilos of gold! Never knew such places existed. This was a total surprise for me as I happened to visit Ajmer on my way to Jodhpur. Entry ticket of 10 rupees. You can walk around the depiction and take a very nice view if you arrive around the opening time, which was 10 AM when I visited. Totally worth the visit. Jain glory is shown in gold!

Only the museum is open to the public. Just a one time visit. No cloak rooms available, we had to carry our luggage all the three floors.

Only entry to mesusm is allowed, strict no entry for non Jain for darshan and prayers. The museum is not maintained as walls visitors scratch their names to it. However the depiction of Ayodhya ji is very enlarged and beautifully detailed. Stairs are not optimum for elderly persons.

You will get awesome experience after visiting this place. Entry fee is RS. 30/- per adult person and free for kids below 10 year.

A must visit if you are in Ajmer or around. Stories from Jain religion depicted beautifully in the form of installations (jhanki).

Nice place to visit, walking distance from railway station. You will like the Jain mythology... Entry 30Rs each.

A place of worship. The structure is beautifully carved and pleasing to look at. Be mindful, as the place is too crowded and has a very narrow approach, with the croud you might just not feel that the place is worth visiting.

5 minutes walking distance from Dargah and also while coming from Taragarh fort you will get to that place. There is no entry fee...

This is a historic landmark and has very beautiful architecture but the local authorities had nothing to do with the maintenance of this place. Ha it was very badly maintained. There is no entry ticket for this place. It is located just near to dargah of ajmer. Very crowded place and it could be improved.

My favorite spot in all Ajmer. The little part of the mosque that is still standing is really beautiful, with the inscriptions on the walls still very much visible. Each column is different, and the ceilings are eye catching. Also, the goats climbing the walls added a bit more to the total experience. And it is free. It is actually worth the walk through the bazaar

Dhai Din ka Jhopda, Just Brilliant piece Art. Can't believe this has been constructed only in 2 and half day. Amazing.........

It is one of the oldest mosques in India, and the oldest surviving monument in Ajmer. Commissioned by Qutb-ud-Din-Aibak in 1192 CE and designed by Abu Bakr of Herat, the mosque is an example of early Indo-Islamic architecture. The structure was completed in 1199 CE and was further enhanced by Iltutmish of Delhi in 1213 CE.[2] An early example of the Indo-Islamic architecture, most of the building was constructed by Hindu masons, under the supervision of Afghan managers. The mosque retained most of the original Indian features, especially on the ornate pillars.

Completed in 1199 A.D. this monument is unique in Architecture of Hindu ,Jain and Muslim culture with Afghan Supervision.The pillars of this Masjid are different with adjoining pillar in design.

a great piece of architecture (basically a mosque) near Ajmer dargah, a must visit place if you are in Ajmer........

1-Origin as a Sanskrit College: The structure was initially built as a Sanskrit college in the 12th century. 2-Conversion to a Mosque: In 1198, Sultan Ghori converted the college into a mosque. 3-Name Meaning: "Adhai Din Ka Jhopra" translates to "shed of two and a half days," possibly referring to the time taken for the initial construction. 4-Architectural Style: The mosque exhibits a unique blend of Indo-Islamic architecture, incorporating elements from both Hindu and Islamic styles. 5-Intricate Carvings: Known for its intricately carved pillars, arches, and domes, showcasing the artistic influences of the Hindu and Islamic cultures. 6-Cultural Synthesis: Represents a historical period of cultural synthesis in medieval India, reflecting the coexistence and interaction of different cultural and religious influences. 7-Historical Significance: The mosque stands as a historical and architectural landmark, offering insights into the transitions and transformations in the region's history during the medieval period.

Others say it was named after a festival lasting 2½ days. It was originally built as a Sanskrit college, but in 1198 Mohammed of Ghori seized Ajmer and converted the building into a mosque by adding a seven-arched wall covered with Islamic calligraphy in front of the pillared hall.

It's basically a Hindu temple converted into Muslim architecture. I found the Hindu idols and structures kept locked up in a storage room right inside the architecture.

It's a fascinating place . The structure was not completed it was half made As per my research This mosque is one of the oldest in India and built in only 2.5 Days by the Mohammed gauri in 12th century. And it also has one myth or anything idk the pillar count will always be different.

It is one of the finest architectures of the slave dynasty ruler Qutub ud din aibak where ayat of Quran Sharif is written on its entrance wall and many more carvings have been done on its pillars and I really like the roof style of it which is circle and circle it . You can notice that the material used to build it is the same as used for qutub minar at Delhi .It was completed in just 2.5 days that's why it is known as Adhai din ka jhopda . Nearest to Dargah shariff of Ajmer .Must visit it . Despite being the heritage site of India it is ignorant by concerned authorities.

It’s a beautiful piece of art and the story behind this wonderful monument is pretty interesting. It is said to have been built in 2 and a half days and the details of the engravings are pretty intricate and makes me wonder what it says cause it’s all written in Urdu I think but I’m not sure. Nice vibes for sure.

This old Vishnu temple is a very beautiful and majestic temple in a peaceful area right next to the busiest area of Pushkar market. I love how it looks and how the locals keep it as a historical temple.

Beautiful temple on such height, there are steps to reach the temple or one can go via ropeway ( Rs 150 per person). Breathtaking view from the top of the mountain where the temple is situated. I would like it to be a little more cleaner. Visitors should beware of monkeys in the temple premises.

When we arrived the cable car was out of service so we didn't have a chance to go up easily and we took the stairs. The climbing up the stairs was hard and tiring but the view was good. We didn't reach the top and had to return but we got very close to the end. In total it was a good experience.

M photoholic guys I love to take pics First of all Jai mata dii It is said jab mata rani Brahma jisse gussa hui thi to yehi aai thi isi pahadi pe After taking darshan here your yatra of pushkar gets complete Here is udan khatola that is rope way and paidal jane kala rasta b hai but for view everyone loves to go with rope way it cost you 140 around for a person for both side and be careful for the monkeys

Excellent place! It's a half an hour trail by walk. Do experience the calm nature, sight of surrounding and listen to your mind. None of the monkey (black faced) show any aggression! They literally sit on nearby trees and rock as monks.

कहते है ब्रह्मा जी से रूठ कर उनकी पत्नी सावित्री माता ऊंचे पहाड़ पर आग्यी। रूठने की कहानी ये है की भगवान ब्रह्मा ने अपने लिए एक तीर्थस्थान बनाने के लिए राजस्थान के पुष्कर में कदम रखा। उस स्थान को शुद्ध करने के लिए उन्हें यज्ञ करना था। भगवान ब्रह्मा ने अपनी पत्नी को बुलाने के लिए नारद को बुलाया, लेकिन नारद के आने पर देवी तैयार नहीं थीं। नारद अकेले लौटे और बताया कि अनुष्ठान पूरा करने के लिए उन्हें किसी और से विवाह करना होगा। तो ब्रह्मा जी ने गायत्री से विवाह कर यज्ञ शुरू किया। जब तक सावित्री माता पहुंचीं, उन्होंने पाया कि ब्रह्मा ने उनकी सहमति के बिना विवाह कर लिया है। क्रुद्ध पत्नी ने तुरंत सृष्टिकर्ता को शाप दिया और कहा कि उसकी कभी भी पूजा नहीं की जाएगी। और पहाड़ी पे चली गई। फिर सभी देवी देवता उन्हें मनाने गए। देवताओं द्वारा सावित्री माता से विनती करने पर उन्होंने अपने श्राप का प्रभाव कम कर दिया। और अंत मे माता सावित्री ने अपने पति की देखभाल के लिए रत्नागिरी पहाड़ी पर निवास करना चुना। For coming you can take a ropeway trip which is very nominal in cost the best way time is morning or evening to enjoy the amazing sunset or sunrise from top of rohini mountain along with sandhya arti. (Translated by Google) It is said that after getting angry with Lord Brahma, his wife Savitri Mata came to a high mountain. The story of getting upset is that Lord Brahma stepped into Pushkar, Rajasthan to build a pilgrimage site for himself. To purify that place they had to perform a yagya. Lord Brahma called Narada to call his wife, but the goddess was not ready when Narada arrived. Narada returned alone and told that he would have to marry someone else to complete the ritual. So Brahma ji married Gayatri and started the yagya. By the time Savitri Mata arrived, she found that Brahma had married without her consent. The angry wife immediately cursed the creator and said that he would never be worshipped. And went to the hill. Then all the gods and goddesses went to convince him. When the gods requested Savitri Mata, she reduced the effect of her curse. And finally Mother Savitri chose to reside on Ratnagiri hill to take care of her husband. For coming you can take a ropeway trip which is very nominal in cost the best way time is morning or evening to enjoy the amazing sunset or sunrise from top of rohini mountain along with sandhya arti.

The Ropeway facility is great. The temple is fine. But there is no proper place for sitting to enjoy the great weather on heights. I would have also appreciate a tea shop or a small restaurant on top with nice views that would have been a cherry on the top.

If you like to try ropeway then this place is great.. There is quite waiting time to visit Savitri Mata temple by ropeway. If you like to climb by stairs then it's ok... Temple is nice and spend some time to enjoy the spiritual feelings and peaceful environment with high altitude...

The temple is very beautiful and spiritual. It's situated on the top of the hill. There are two ways you can reach. The first one is the stairs and the second one is Ropeway. So now let me tell you how people choose to go there...if they choose stairs so either they had asked the mata savitri to grant their wish and then they go by stairs or some of the tourists go for "Bundi" the holy one I was a foreigner couple they were doing it and they told someone about it I just over heard it and got to know about Bundi also. It almost takes you 2 hours to reach the temple. And If you are choosing Ropeway so it only costs 150 INR for one person for both sides it's a great option if You just want to visit the temple and add something new in your travelling experience and memories. It can become adventurous and spiritual at the very same time. When you'll reach the temple you'll see a bulk of monkeys they just stay there and sit and chill. Don't be aftraif when you see them but yeah make sure you take care of your belongings I can't say if they'll snatch one of your things and will run away!! Haha just kidding. They were really nice until you'll tease them. So visit the temple it's really beautiful and gives a breath taking view. It's almost 450kms up from the floor or ground whatever is convenient for one's understanding. But it's just an amazing temple. You can sit there make videos and take photos and have really great time with your family, friends, beloved and solo time also. There is a mini market also where you can have snacks and tea. A free parking lot also available. It's a must visit place if you are visiting Pushkar.

Quiet holy place, preferably visit on weekdays. Beware of monkeys, they try to grab whatever is in your hand. Beautiful scenery was seen through ropeway.

It was a fun cable car ride experience. We were waiting in line for about 30 minutes. There is a beautiful view at the top. Lots of langur monkeys. But there was a lot of garbage. We walked down and it was an unpleasant experience because there were heaps of garbage everywhere on the hill. It’s sad, especially this knows as a sacred place for Hindus.

Must Visit Place in Puskar. Ropeway facility is available here.Rs. 165 for to and fro. Stairs are also there but not everybody can use those smoothly. Railings are not there. You will find many leaf monkeys also there , specially on top near temple premises.

This temple of Mata Savitri is situated at the hill top around two km from Brahmaji temple. One can go to this temple by climbing stairs which are around 900 in number or one can go up by Ropeway. From top of the hill, one can see Pushkar and around areas and enjoy the place.

People go to witness sunrise and view of pushkar from top. Temple itself is very calm and has very religious value, climbing to top takes too much of efforts as it has only stairs to reach to the top. Ropeway also has started. Overall, great experience.

Temple is on top of the hills with amazing view of Pushkar city and they provide ropeway facility with 165rs both ways.. Note - Temple remains close from 12 noon to 2pm so plan accordingly.. The entry way and garden area are very well maintained.

On reaching the temple, the views are breathtaking Pushkar city can be seen with a bird eye view even ajmer city also visible from here. Those who want to burn some extra calories, try the steps..

A must do. Walked up and back. It’s really worth it. It’s free to do but there’s a fee for the cable car. Easy walk from Pjskar town so don’t get sucked into renting a tuk tuk. Cold water and snacks at the top of needed. Amazing view over Pushkar and surrounds. Monkeys at the top are a great attraction too. Pity no one scrubs the steps at the top. The monkeys, though cute, are not house trained….🚽

Temple is located atop a hill. Views of the Pushkar lake and surrounding areas from the temple are superb. There are two modes to reach the top of hill. First and preferred one is by Rope Way that costs Rs 165 both ways. Ropeway trolley will take you to the temple in about ten minutes but waiting time for purchase of tickets and trolley is from 30 to 40 minutes. If you are in good health, you may prefer to climb around 1000 steps to the top and enjoy some great views on the way. It will take around 30 minutes to reach the top by walking - less than the time taken by Rope way including waiting time. Temple closes from 1 pm to 2 pm. So when it reopens at 2 pm, there is a huge rush. Avoid 2 pm to 3 pm slot.

जगत पिता ब्रह्माजी की पहली पत्नी सावित्री माता अखंड़ सुहाग का प्रतीक मानी जाती हैं। करीब 3280 फीट ऊंची रत्नागिरी पहाड़ी के शिखर पर स्थित सावित्री माता मंदिर की भव्यता इस मानसून सीजन में दमक रही है। भक्त करीब एक हजार सीढ़ियां चढ़कर पहाड़ी के शिखर पर पहुंचते हैं। श्रद्धालु रोप-वे से भी मंदिर के दर्शन के लिए आ-जा सकते हैं। मंदिर के निर्माण का तो इतिहास नहीं मिला है, लेकिन इसका जीर्णाेद्धार 16वीं सदी में मारवाड़ के महाराजा अजीत सिंह ने कराया था। मंदिर मेंं प्रतिवर्ष भाद्र पद की सप्तमी को सालाना रात्रि जागरण व अष्टमी को मेला भरता है। इस दौरान महिलाएं अपने सुहाग के दीर्घायु होने की कामना करती हैं। पश्चिम बंगाल के श्रद्धालु सावित्री माता की कुल देवी के रूप में पूजा करने आते है। यह है मान्यता पुष्कर में ब्रह्मा जी ने अपनी पहली धर्मपत्नी सावित्री के स्थान पर गायत्री देवी को साथ में बैठा कर यज्ञ किया। सावित्री कुपित हो गईं। सावित्री ने यज्ञ में उपस्थित सभी देवी-देवताओं को अलग-अलग श्राप दिया और आखिरी में ब्रह्मा जी को यह श्राप देते हुए सावित्री माता एक हजार मीटर ऊंची रत्नागिरी पहाड़ी पर रूठकर विराजमान हो गईं कि उनका (ब्रह्मा जी)मंदिर पुष्कर के अलावा पूरे विश्व में दूसरी जगह कहीं नहीं होगा। ब्रह्माजी के साथ गर्भगृह में उनकी दूसरी पत्नी गायत्री विराजमान हैं। जबकि ब्रह्माजी के मंदिर के पिछवाड़े स्थित रत्नागिरी पहाड़ी के शिखर पर सावित्री माता का मंदिर है। (Translated by Google) Savitri Mata, the first wife of the world father Brahmaji, is considered a symbol of unbroken marriage. The grandeur of Savitri Mata Temple situated on the peak of Ratnagiri hill, about 3280 feet high, is shining in this monsoon season. Devotees climb about a thousand steps to reach the top of the hill. Devotees can also visit the temple by ropeway. The history of the construction of the temple has not been found, but it was renovated by Maharaja Ajit Singh of Marwar in the 16th century. Every year in the temple, an annual night vigil is held on Saptami of Bhadra Pad and a fair is held on Ashtami. During this time, women wish for the long life of their husband. Devotees from West Bengal come to worship Savitri Mata as the family deity. This is the belief that in Pushkar, Lord Brahma performed Yagya with Gayatri Devi in ​​place of his first wife Savitri. Savitri became angry. Savitri cursed all the Gods and Goddesses present in the Yagya separately and in the end, while giving this curse to Brahma Ji, Savitri Mata sulked and sat on the thousand meter high Ratnagiri Hill that her (Brahma Ji) temple would be destroyed in the entire world except Pushkar. I wouldn't be anywhere else. His second wife Gayatri is present in the sanctum sanctorum along with Brahmaji. Whereas there is a temple of Savitri Mata on the peak of Ratnagiri hill located in the backyard of Brahmaji's temple.

A very beautiful temple on the hill. One can see the whole pushkar from the temple courtyard. It is about 1 km from Brahma temple and can be reached through 2 wheelers and 4 wheelers. It can be reached either by rope way or stairs. There are lots of monkeys outside the temple, from which you need to be a little cautious. The ticket price for the rope way is 165 per person.

Fateh means “Victory” and Sikri is “village” on which city was built by Akbar in 1571. It is a UNESCO world heritage site and about 40 kms from Agra. It has Jodha Bai's palace, Jama Mosque, Buland Darwaza, Tomb of Salim Chisti, Diwan-i-Aam, Diwan-i-Khas, Ibadat Khana, and several other places. It is a harmonious blend of Indo-Islamic architecture. The complex is very big and needs around 2-3 hours to visit and enjoy properly. Upon entering the complex there is a vast courtyard and several structures seen around. There is UP Tourism hotel near the complex which gives a good stay. There are several photographic points in the complex.

Fatehpur Sikri is in UP . There are lot of tourist destinations in Fatehpur but this one is the most visited place by tourists. Place will be less crowded/somewhat empty early in the morning. Place will be very calm and cool in the morning. Private vehicle should be parked in the parking area and a dedicated bus is available for visiting this place . You can take a guide if you are interested to know the history of the place. If you want to spend time in that place and click pictures I would not recommend you to take a guide. They won’t be giving you time . Guide will come for very less price but they will try to scam you in the middle by asking you purchase chadar (shawl) for offering. Be aware of scams.

During my visit to Fatehpur Sikri visited this place and it was a wonderful experience. As I have visited the place during winters and on public holiday so there was a lot of rush but enjoyed a lot. As there you will find the guides who will let you know about the place so it's better if you book them so that you will get to know about the place. As Buland Darwaza was constructed by Akbar after the victory over Gujarat and also it is the highest gateway in the world and an example of Mughal Architecture. The tomb of Shaikh Salim Chisti is also there and people came here and make the wish. So overall a great place having finest Mughal era construction and one can see if they want to explore India.

Don't fall for touts and guides! Park your vehicle at the government rest house parking which is approx a KM prior. Take a battery operated rickshaw from the parking lot itself. No tickets required for entry. The monument is itself beautiful but just avoid the touts.

First of all, this place is just 5 min walk from fatehpur sikri fort, one has to open shoes and wear bathroom slippers provided by the shoekeeper outside. There are lots and lots of small vendors, kids and people acting as guides and kids from nearby villages following to receite shayari in 50 rupees. These vendors are also allowed inside the premises and follows you till the parking spot. The vendors even captures the buland darwaza and not a single proper photograph of buland darwaza can be captured. Salim chisti's dargah is inside and the guide misses no chance to take you for buying chadar at 10x costs. The small one is for single person starting at 1100 rupees and the so called family chadar they sell from 5100 to 11000 rupees. This place stinks, vendors are looting, everyone here even the sweepers and cleaners exclaims that they receive no salary and is totally dependent on the tourists who pay them, is that even a true lie to believe? Everywhere people wanted to loot as much as they can and guides have set commissions to bring us to them plus their charge. Will recommend to visit the dargah but bring along everything from outside.

Fantastic architecture and a beautiful place to visit. It's places like these that make you wonder about the capabilities of humans and their vision and perception for creating wonders like these. You would definitely not wanna go to such a photogenic place without a good camera.

An amazing work of architecture. A huge entrance meant for common people who visits the Bradshah or their ministers. The design is beautiful and the arch is amazing. Red sandstone is used as the material. The grand scale of construction is amazing to look at.

I visit Fatehpur Sikri bulnd darwaza visited this palace and the experience was amazing. As I have visited the palace during the winters so enjoyed a lot. The jodha bai palace is nearly about 30 km far from Agra and the ticket price is rupees 50 for entering into the palace. So nearly it take around 2 to 2.5 hours to visit the palace completely. From Agra you can book private taxi or you can take the public taxi from Shahganj Agra. So overall it was a nice experience and near to the palace there is Buland Darwaza the main entrance to the jama masjid at Fatehpur Sikri. So you can enjoy you day by visiting both the places. Thanks

Nice place to visit and see the tunnel used to escape anarkali from Fatehpur to Agra and Agra to Delhi and finally Delhi to lahaure.although the tunnel has been closed to due to dammage.

Its a beauty to watch in person and get aww struck. This is one place which we should visit at-least once and enjoy the shear size and beauty of it.This place is really hard to describe in words.

The approach to the gate consists of 42 steps. I visited this place unfortunately during peak summer season but this place is marvellous.

This is a Mughal architecture which was made by Akbar and when you look at this it’s like how they had build this, it’s so huge. This is a crowded place and inside this darwaza there is Chisti Dargah, mosque and few more things to visit. You have to take off your shoes before entering this place. This place is open and well maintained. You can see the art work of Mughal era on this darwaza. But people spat gutka everywhere and ruining this historical moment. Best time to visit this place is December end to January month.

There is no need to buy any tickets. And the place is not really beautiful as people have hyped it. All you get to see is lots of tomb of salim and lots of more people all in line. And in the starting is the big main entrance called buland darwaja. And there is a masjid inside and a pond which is ill maintained and is all dirty people just wash their feet hands and some even their mouth and face. It got on my nerves seeing people using those dirty pond water. personally I did not like the place and People will irritate you for hiring a guide, for buying flowers and chadar for the masjid and we met a guy who even tried to threaten us for buying flowers and keeping him as a guide and keeping our shoes in his shop. I found that behaviour offensive. Also we did not found any good mode of transport for visiting the place. We had to change 3 times from agra to fatehpur sikri and it was hectic. I usually dont give so less rating to any place. But after travelling so many places I found it worst

It is a very huge and tall entry gate made all over Asia. The door is old one. Don't confuse over darwaja . The door is not tall only the entry gate is huge.

Giant palace in the early Moghul capital. We were taken around with a guide, which I would recommend to everyone exploring this giant place with it's different sections and palaces. It shows a huge diversity in architecture, combining Hindu, Christian and Islam elements. You can easily spend two or more hours there. There is a huge car park from where shuttle buses bring you to the fort.

Buland Darwaza , or the "Door of Victory", was built in 1575 by Mughal emperor Akbar. No ticket required to visit this place. It's 45km away from Agra 1hrs from bike and 2hrs from bus. If you are going to visit Agra plan one day for fatehpur sikri. This is send place visit first is fatehpur fort. Try to not hire guide they are waste of money and try to sell things which are not important but name of religion they do so avoid it. They show you some photos of Bollywood stars and try manipulate you. Market is nearby. The Buland Darwaza is made of red and buff sandstone, decorated by white and black marble and is higher than the courtyard of the mosque. The Buland Darwaza is symmetrical and is topped by large free-standing kiosks, which are the chhatris. It also has terrace edge gallery kiosks on the roof, stylised buckler-battlements, small minor-spires, and inlay work with white and black marble.

It was very enlightening. You need a very knowledgeable guide to truly enjoy it as without a person to explain the historical significance and story behind the monuments it feels incomplete. P.S: I'll be honest with you before here I went to the Taj Mahal and I was bored out of my mind cause I was just looking at the monuments. At first the architecture was interesting but eventually I lost interest and spent the rest of the time in the garden. On the other hand my friends who were with the guide had a lot of fun. If u didn't figure it out I was separated on the way in.

Was not aware that this place is so near to Bharatpur. Our visit was to Bharatpur but then took out half a day to visit the place. Earlier came here from Agra, which is actually farther than Bharatpur. Took 20min to reach by car. Too much local guide and auto nexus running. After parking in the designated place, took an auto and forced guide. The red stone gets very hot, so you have to pay for slippers too. The overall experience is ruined by the constant nagging of the sellers & beggers inside the complex. Don't forget to bargain hard in case you plan to buy anything. Thr are Some shops around the car parking whr you can have snacks. Overall a nice place to visit, experience the place and spend the evening (instead of day time).

Buland Darwaza is among the UNESCO WORLD HERITAGE Site situated in Fatehpur Sikri, Agra. It's built around the Dargah of Saleem Chishti by Akbar. It doesn't have washroom facilities in the compound but outside towards Jodha Mahal. One must visit the place to witness the grandness of Mughal Architecture and its impact on attracting tourists around the world. Many movies include Shah Rukh Khan's Pardes and were shot here.

Fatehpur Sikri This small town in the state of Uttar Pradesh, India, is on the world heritage list of UNESCO owing to the 16th century AD group of monuments belonging to emperor Akbar's era. The mughal emperor commissioned this city as a mark of his victory. It remained his capital city for about a decade but was abandoned due to shortage of water. Though the place is portrayed as belonging to the Akbar era, it actually existed as a prominent place much before that. They say that it was in the limelight since the 7th century AD. Today the archeological site is well maintained by the ASI. It is a worthy tourist attraction, very easily accessible by road. It sits right on the Jaipur Agra highway. One can cover the monuments in less than two hours. If you are a photographer you may add another hour to your schedule. Buland Darwaza - the iconic high gate, is a magnificent structure and a masterpiece of mughal architecture. Unfortunately local people don't seem to be respecting the monument. People sitting idle on the steps chewing tobacco and spitting all over is a disgusting sight. Also, goats roam free at the gate. Graffiti on the walls of monuments is another menace in India and this place was no exception. Such sights at tourist places reflect on our country’s tourism profile. High time Indian tourism ministry paid attention to such things.

Very beautiful and nice to know so much of the rich history behind all these ethereal structures. A very good place to visit if you are a history lover.
