The Urs in Ajmer is an annual Sufi pilgrimage marking the death anniversary of the 13th-century Sufi mystic Khwaja Moinuddin Chishti, held at his dargah (shrine built around a tomb) in Ajmer.
Sufism is a mystical tradition within Islam that emphasizes personal devotion and a direct, experiential relationship with the divine. Within this tradition, the death anniversary of a revered mystic is observed as a significant spiritual moment.
The pilgrimage centers around the tomb of Khwaja Moinuddin Chishti, where offerings such as flowers and chadors (ceremonial cloths) are presented. Qawwali, poetic devotional singing performed with vocals and harmonium, accompanies prayer and recitation within the shrine complex.
