Akbari Masjid

The Akbari Masjid as the name implies is a mosque built by the Mughal Emperor Akbar. The story goes that Akbar had the mosque built in gratitude for the birth of his son, Prince Salim. By the standards of mosques, the entrance is richly decorated in a gold background with arabic writing and floral themes, a style also found opposite the Dargah Sharif which is adjacent to the mosque complex. The rest of the mosque is built with mosque is built mostly of marble, but decorated in a bland green. It though it was okay. The place is very commercial because of the Dargah and there are many stalls inside the mosque complex selling stuff to worshippers wanting to pray at the shrine.

It's really sad to see our ummah in so much shirk! It's where all the wrong happens. They loot you asking for offering. Please be careful

Situated at Ander Kote Rd, Khadim Mohalla, Diggi Bazaar, Ajmer, Rajasthan 305001.

I first visited the Mosque in the year 2001 and then again in 2018 finally after a long period. Feeling really great and peaceful so many memories of 2001 comes alive once again.

This grand Akbari Masjid was built by Mugal Emperor Akbar. Also there is a religious institution (Madarsa) called Darul-Uloom, within this masjid.

According to the Ain-e-Akbari, emperor Akbar had to visit Ajmer for military purposes during 1561 to 1568 A.D. but in the year 1570, Akbar knowing the spiritual powers of Khwaja saheb, came to the Dargah and requested Khwaja saheb to fulfil his desire for a son. And as his desire was fulfilled, he got a son named Salim. Akbar came to Ajmer Dargah on foot from Agra to pay homage and to thank Khwaja saheb. The trek from Agra to Ajmer took him 15 days. Akbar had a beautiful mosque constructed in the same year. This mosque is today known as Akbari Mosque. Akbar built this mosque of red stones in 1570 A. D. Its central arch is 56 ft. high.

In 1571 Akbar initiated the building of the mosque AKBARI MASJID which is named after him at the shrine, and in 1579 he had the mausoleum of Hazrat Khwaja Moinuddin Chishtyfurther embellished. This is mentioned in an inscription painted in golden nastaliq lettering inside the dome of the mausoleum. For early topographical descriptions of Ajmer and its shrine, reliance must be placed on the foreign travelers who went there. Contemporary local authors give no such descriptions. W. Finch, who was in India between 1608 and 1611, left the following account of the shrine:

Ajmer is only famous for the sepulcher of Hazrat Khwaja Moinuddin Chishty, a saint much respected by the Mughals.

Most beautiful mosque
The holy place
Welcome to offer Namaz

Located at one side of the Dargah complex, the Akbari Masjid is a unique spot indeed.
One has to climb up a few steep steps to reach a citadel upon which this mosque was commissioned by Mughal Emperor Akbar.
Most people coming to the Dargah don't know about its existence and as a result it's almost always empty, I had a grand time exploring such a beautiful structure on my own and then sitting down in one corner and imagining how Akbar himself and later perhaps his sons and grandsons used to come and pray here too.
Like all mosques, one has to dress modestly and wear a covering on the head for both men and women.

Akbari Masjid is a mosque located inside the dargah area in the name of the great Mughal ruler Akbar. Once you are inside the dargah you will visit this place and can have namaz here. It's told that the large utensils for making food for the common people located on either side of the dargah are made by him. Altogether it's a must-visit place for travellers.
