General Characteristics of the District The district derives its name from the head quarter town of Ajmer. It comparised of two districts viz. Ajmer and Merwara before independence and the ancient name of city was 'Ajaymeru'. The Sanskrit word 'Meru' means a hill and Ajay used as a qualifying adjective to mery (hill), implying that this hill was invincible or un-conquerable by enemies probably due to its inaccessibility. The ancient name Ajaymeru later became Ajmer through collogquial terminology. Ajmer was also combining of the name of Raja Ajaypal. The traditional founder of the city and the fort (Taragarh) in Merwara. Since this expressed the physical feature only, the former meaning appears to be more plausible rather than indentifying with Ajay Raja. Ajmer was founded by Raja Ajaipal Chauhan in the 7 century A.D. It remained a strong hold of the Chauhans till 1193 A.D. when Prithvi Raj Chauhan the last Hindu ruler lost it to Mohammed Gauri, than become past of Delhi Sultanate, but Rana Kumbha of Mewar and Raja Maldeo of Marwar established Rajput rule over Ajmer. From then onwards, Ajmer became battle ground for power between the Rajputs, Mugals and Marathas, the British finally annexed it after the treaty in 1818 A.D. with Maratha chief and held Ajmer as a Chief Commissioner's pride. During the British rule, it was considered expidient for purely political considertations that this small but strategic area or Ajmer should be retained and administrated by the Central Government. After independence State Govt. extended its claim over Ajmer with the argument that geographically, ethnological and linguistically Ajmer is and has been an integral part of Rajasthan. The re-organization Commission constituted for the purpose investigated case for merger and finally recommended and consequently the region or Ajmer was merged with Rajasthan on 1st November 1956 and became one or the eminent district of Rajasthan State. Today this place is not only known for holy Pushkar Lake & Beautiful temples on one hand and the Durgah of Khwaja Moinuddin Chisti on the other hand but also an important trade, commerce industrial and transportation centre of Rajasthan. 1.1 Location & Geographical Area.
