Arvind Kejriwal Offers Sacred Chadar For Ajmer Sharif Dargah

Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal offered a sacred chadar for the Ajmer Sharif Dargah on Sunday. He did this to celebrate the occasion of the 812th Urs of Khwaja Moinuddin Chishti. Another sacred chadar, presented by Prime Minister Narendra Modi, also reached the esteemed Ajmer Sharif Dargah.

These chadars will be placed during the Urs of Khwaja Moinuddin Chishti at the Ajmer Sharif Dargah. The celestial Jannati Gate was ceremoniously opened on January 12 at the revered shrine of Hazrat Khwaja Garib Nawaz in Ajmer.

It was opened to welcome devotees from far and wide. Pilgrims are elated at the prospect of entering the Aastana Sharif through the Jannati Gate. Many devotees said that this was a moment they had eagerly anticipated after a prolonged wait.

The opening of this sacred gate, which will remain accessible until the 6th of Rajab, holds special significance during the 812th Urs of Hazrat Khwaja Garib Nawaz. “This tradition has been practiced at the shrine of Hazrat Khwaja Sahib for 850 years.

Devotees visiting Garib Nawaz’s shrine, expressing their desires and presenting their grievances, have a unique ritual. We offer devotees sandal-infused water to drink when their pleas are presented here,” Khadim (priest) Syed Gutbuddin Sakhi said.
