Here is your short paragraph on Urs of Ajmer Sharif:

This is a great festival held annually at Ajmer, Rajasthan. During Urs of Ajmer Sherif that usually celebrated in the month of April/May, the Ajmer city turns into a fairy land for six days.

It is a great centre for religious, cultural and commercial activity for people from all over India and the world. Fair is the wonderland of saints, fakirs and pilgrims.

The endless voices in qawali sing the praise of Hazrat Khwaza Moinuddin Chisti, helper of the poor. Scholar Udai Narain Tewari has rightly stated that such an environment welcomes visitors at the Urs of Ajmer Sharif.

ADVERTISEMENTS:

The shops in the fair are rented by merchants from Delhi, Agra, Jaipur, Ahmedabad and of course, Ajmer.

The fair, like all fairs in India, is just not a commercial venture. It is a great out-pouring of culture. All night long, qawals, regardless of religion, sing in the mehfil and poets sprout amidst the shop, above the hubbub in the street. Strands of poetry and art, trade and religion are interwoven for day to make Ajmer fair one of the most unusual and unforgettable in India.
