Athato Ghummakad Jigyasa --- 1

When one of my very dear friend was busy in writing the future, i was busy in exploring the past rather the glorious past of Bharat.
This tour diary has a nice percentage of adventure so i decided to divide it into 2 parts.

The Beginning
O
n Friday i.e. 17th Feb , evening on of my friend, a baypacket frnd, asked me about what i think about visiting some places that weeknd. I replied postively so we decided to visit some place.(Rishikesh) We reached Delhi Station around 11:00 PM. There we were not able to get a bus for Rishikesh so we changed our plan, to visit Jaipur. We reached Jaipur around 5:00 AM , saturday. Then we decided to go to Ajmer since we had to wait till 9:00 in order to visit any place in Jaipur, s sheer waste of 4 hours. We utilized those hours in reaching Ajmer. The capital of the Greatest Rajput Dynasty ever ruled India. About 12 kms from Ajmer there lies a place called Puskar. One of the most pious city as far as Hindus are concerned. Lies on a ground surrounded by some very high mountains. This town has the temple dedicated to Brahma Ji, the only such temple in the whole world.
This small town also witnessed one of the very fierce battle fought between the Chauhan ruler of Ajmer and Mahmud of Ghazni, 1025 AD approx. Mahmud was going to destroy Somnath, DharmGajDev Chauhan, the ruler challenged Mahmud near Puskar and defeated him. But due to cunning trick of Mahmud, Dharam Gaj Dev chauhan was killed when he was worshipping in Puskar after the victory. After that, the people of Ajmer and Puskar were massacred, some how the temple left. Dharam Gaj Dev Chauhan was the forefather of Great Prithvi Raj Chauhan.
After worshipping in temple and in Brahma Sarovar, we decided to conquer the final frontier of Puskar, The temple dedicated to 1st wife of Brahma Ji, Goddess Savitri. The temple is situtated on the top of the heighest mountain in Puskar. It was around 250 metres from the ground and around 600 metres from the sea level. Some how we reached the top, only to see only foreigners at the top. The path was very steep and very risky.
We reached Ajmer around 1:00 PM after having our Rajasthani food in Puskar. In Ajmer we visited Ajmer Sharif Dargah, and we dedicated one chadar on the Mazar. A holy trinity for me after visiting Piya Haji Ali Mazar, mumbai and Jama Masjid in Delhi. A great place to visit.
At around 3:00, we decided to visit the fort of the Chauhan rulers of Ajmer. The ruins of the fort can be find at a height of 600 metres from the Ajmer ground level and 900 metres from the sea level. On that mountain, there is a very small town. This town is known as Tara Garh, dedicated to tarabai, Tarabai was the first wife of Prithvi Raj Chauhan. This town has only muslim population and i found posters of only Shahid Afridi and many others i was not able to recognize. Around 100 metres below that town, on the same mountain range, Govt of India has erected a small museum dedicated to Prithvi Raj Chauhan and his forefathers.
We visited that museum, only to hear the sound coming from the TaraGarh loudspeaker.... And Mohammad Ghori founded this mosque and our great Ghori founded this. And we were hearing these sounds singing the praise of Mohammad Ghori, the archrival of Prithvi Raj Chauhan and India, in the heartland of Prithvi Raj Chauhan. This ended our stay at Ajmer.
