Urs Ajmer Sharif: Held in the holy town of
Ajmer in honour of the Sufi saint, Khwaja Moinuddin Chishti, special
prayers are offered at the mosque, and huge amounts of consecrated
food offered from the large, steaming cauldrons that were a gift
from Akbar. While quwwallis are sung at night, the celebrations
unite people of all faiths, and the complete town is decorated with
buntings, and wears the spirit of festivity. |
