About Taragarh Fort, Ajmer
The hill fort above Ajmer is claimed as one of the oldest in India, begun by the Chauhans and fought over by every power that held the town. Most of it is ruin now, long walls and huge bastions, and the working heart is the dargah of Miran Sahib, the garrison commander killed here in 1202, which draws far more visitors than the fort. Not to be confused with the Taragarh of Bundi.
What to see and do
- Dargah of Miran Sahib
- Bhim Burj and the outer walls
- Views over Ajmer and Ana Sagar
- Rain-water tanks cut into the rock
Part of Aravalli.
