Dhai Din Ka Jhonpra,
Ajmer: Adhai or Dhai Din Ka
Jhonpra Ajmer is a superb example of Indo-Islamic architecture. It is believed
that it was constructed in two and a half days, hence called as Adhai-Din (two
and a half days). It is also believed that the name is associated to a two and
a half day fair held annually nearby. The mosque was originally a Sanskrit
college but later on converted into a mosque by Muhammad Ghori in 1198. He
erected seven arched-wall engraved with verses from the Koran.
