Dhai-din-ka-Jhonpra ̈ HiSTORiC S iTE
Beyond the dargah, on the town outskirts,
are the ruins of the Dhai-din-ka-Jhonpra
(Two-and-a-Half-Day Building) mosque.
According to legend, construction in 1153
took 2½ days. Others say it was named after
a festival lasting 2½ days. It was built as a
Sanskrit college, but in 1198 Mohammed of
Ghori seized Ajmer and converted the build-
ing into a mosque by adding a seven-arched
wall covered with Islamic calligraphy in
front of the pillared hall.
It’s a beautiful piece of architecture, with
soaring domes, pillars and a lovely arched
screen, largely built from pieces of Jain and
Hindu temples.
