Monitoring Desk: A petition has been accepted for review demanding that Ajmer Sharif Dargah be declared as the “Sankat Mochan Mahadev Temple.
Ajmer Sharif Dargah Tomb (dargah) of the Sufi saint, Khwaja Moinuddin Hasan Chishti, is located at Ajmer Shareef, Rajasthan, India. Chishti also known as Khawaja Gharib Nawaz was a Persian Islamic scholar and mystic from Sistan, who eventually ended up settling in the Indian subcontinent in the early 13th century, where he promulgated the Chishtiyya order of Sunni mysticism.
A Rajasthan court accepted a petition filed by Hindu Sena chief Vishnu Gupta, claiming that the Ajmer Sharif Dargah is a Shiva temple. The Ajmer lower court issued notices to three entities in response to a lawsuit claiming that a Shiva temple exists within the premises of the revered dargah of Sufi saint Moinuddin Chishti.
The petition said:
“We demanded that the Ajmer dargah should be declared as Sankat Mochan Mahadev Temple and if the dargah has any kind of registration, then it should be canceled. Its survey should be done through ASI and Hindus should be given the right to worship there,”. The next hearing is on December 20.
