Situated in the state of Rajasthan, the bustling city of Ajmer is the headquarters of Ajmer district. Ajmer is filled with Islamic and Jain architecture; the city is sacred to various religions. It is home to the shrine of a revered Sufi saint and Muslims flock to this pilgrimage spot every year.
Surrounded by the green Aravalli hills, Ajmer is not only a religious centre but a thriving industrial hub too. Hindustan Machine Tools Ltd. (HMT) is one of the large-scale enterprises present in the region. The region is also fairly rich in minerals.
The city is an important railway junction and is well-connected to the rest of Rajasthan. The ancient city is wrapped in history, but is now evolving into a modern industrial center.
