Ajmer Sharif
Gumbad Mubarak (Dome)
Inside the gumbad mubarak, there is a silver 'Chaparkhat'
(canopy) inlaid with pieces of mother-of-pearl presented by Emperor
Jahangir. Between the four poles supporting this `chaparkhat’, there is
silver `katehra’ (railing) with an arch towards the south. There is
another outer silver katehra running around the tomb at a distance of
about 2 feet. The devotees are led into this space to offer flowers and
prayers over the tomb. The ceiling of the dome is covered by a costly
velvet chatgiri. A peculiar kind of fascinating aroma prevails in the
shrine which inspires the visitors with a spontaneous and irresistible
urge for devotion and homage towards the asleep saint. As soon as one
enters the interior of the shrine, he feels as if he is in the presence
of some exalted soul or mighty spiritual king. |
