Gautam Adani and Wife Offer Chadar at Ajmer Sharif Dargah, Praying for Peace and Prosperity
Adani Group Chairperson Gautam Adani, along with his wife, Priti Adani, visited the revered Ajmer Sharif Dargah in Rajasthan to offer prayers. The couple laid a “makhmali chadar” and flowers at the shrine of Khwaja Moinuddin Chishti, a Sufi saint known for his message of love and harmony.
The Adani family was warmly received by Haji Syed Salman Chishty, Chairman of the Chishty Foundation, who shared that Gautam Adani prayed for the well-being of the entire nation. The visit was a moment of deep reverence and gratitude for the industrialist and his family.
Ajmer Sharif Dargah is one of the holiest shrines in India, welcoming devotees from all faiths. The site, adorned with marble and gold plating, has a rich history, with emperors like Akbar and Shah Jahan making annual pilgrimages and even building mosques within the complex.
Modernizing Pilgrimage for Devotees
Last month, Union Minister Kiren Rijiju presented a sacred chadar at the shrine on behalf of Prime Minister Narendra Modi during the annual Urs of Khwaja Moinuddin Chishti, a festival symbolizing unity and devotion. As part of efforts to enhance the pilgrimage experience, several new initiatives were launched:
Operations Manual for Urs – Ensuring smooth event management with detailed protocols for security, crowd control, healthcare, and sustainability.
Dargah Web Portal & “Garib Nawaz” App – Providing online access to event schedules, lodging details, and other essential information for devotees.
These steps align with the Digital India vision, making the sacred journey to Ajmer more accessible and organized for millions of visitors.
A Place of Spiritual Harmony
The Urs festival and visits from influential personalities highlight Ajmer Sharif Dargah’s role as a symbol of peace and interfaith unity. Whether it is a devotee seeking blessings or a leader praying for the country’s prosperity, the shrine continues to bring people together, transcending religious and cultural boundaries.
