The Urs are held at Ajmer every year at the tomb of the Sufi Saint KhwajaMoinuddinChisti, commemorating his symbolic union with God. Pilgrims from all over the world gather to pay homage. Qawalis (poems) are presented in the saint’s honour and religious assemblies (mehfils) and ‘fatihas’ (mass prayers) are held. The lakeside town attracts thousands of devotees of all faiths on the occasion.
