Tucked into the leafy LIC Colony neighbourhood of Vaisali Nagar, the Laxmi Narayan Mandir is a small, living Hindu temple rather than a ticketed monument. Visitors repeatedly call it peaceful and beautiful, and its charm lies in exactly that: a calm place of worship where the daily rhythm of prayer unfolds quietly, away from the crowds that gather at Ajmer's better-known shrines. Dedicated to Lord Narayan (Vishnu) and Goddess Lakshmi, the deities of prosperity and divine protection, the shrine also enshrines images of Hanuman, the goddess Durga, Ganesha and the Shiv Parivar, so there is more than one focus for devotion within a single visit. A broad open garden stretches in front of the temple, with benches inviting you to linger a while longer.

Trikoot Mahadev

Trikoot Mahadev is a modest Hindu temple dedicated to Lord Shiva, nestled along Jaipur Road in the Hathi Bhata neighbourhood of Ajmer, Rajasthan. The name "Trikoot" evokes the three-peaked form associated with Shiva, and the temple has served as a local place of worship since at least the mid-1970s. It sits in a part of Ajmer densely dotted with Shiva shrines — at least eight other temples lie within a two-kilometre radius — reflecting the city's deep and enduring connection to Shaivism, which stretches back to the Maratha era when four principal Shiva temples were established across the old city.

Taragarh Fort - Ajmer

Taragarh Fort is a hilltop citadel that crowns the Aravalli ridge above the holy city of Ajmer, Rajasthan. Built over 1,000 metres above sea level, the fort pairs rock-cut water reservoirs and grand bastioned gateways with sweeping panoramic views across Ajmer and the shimmering expanse of Ana Sagar Lake. Locals call it the 'Star Fort' for its clever star-shaped defensive layout. Its ramparts once echoed with the boom of the Garbh Gunjam — a massive cannon nicknamed 'Thunder from the Womb' — mounted on the great Bhim Burj bastion. Today the fort is one of the most atmospheric places in Rajasthan to walk among crumbling arches and feel the weight of an empire beneath your feet.
