Adhai Din Ka Jhopra is one of the oldest and most fascinating monuments in Ajmer, Rajasthan. Built in the late 12th century by Qutb-ud-Din Aibak, this structure was originally a Sanskrit college, which was later converted into a mosque after the Turkish invasion.

The name "Adhai Din Ka Jhopra" literally means "shed of two and a half days", and though the full mosque took longer to complete, legend says the structure was hastily built in just two and a half days — giving it a unique historical identity.

Highlights of Adhai Din Ka Jhopra:

• 
  

  Indo-Islamic architecture: A blend of Hindu and Jain motifs with Islamic calligraphy.
