Located at one side of the Dargah complex, the Akbari Masjid is a unique spot indeed.One has to climb up a few steep steps to reach a citadel upon which this mosque was commissioned by Mughal Emperor Akbar.Most people coming to the Dargah dont know about its existence and as a result its almost always empty, I had a grand time exploring such a beautiful structure on my own and then sitting down in one corner and imagining how Akbar himself and later perhaps his sons and grandsons used to come and pray here too.Like all mosques, one has to dress modestly and wear a covering on the head for both men and women.

The Akbari Masjid as the name implies is a mosque built by the Mughal Emperor Akbar. The story goes that Akbar had the mosque built in gratitude for the birth of his son, Prince Salim. By the standards of mosques, the entrance is richly decorated in a gold background with arabic writing and floral themes, a style also found opposite the Dargah Sharif which is adjacent to the mosque complex. The rest of the mosque is built with mosque is built mostly of marble, but decorated in a bland green. It though it was okay. The place is very commercial because of the Dargah and there are many stalls inside the mosque complex selling stuff to worshippers wanting to pray at the shrine.And also Good place to visit for its historical significance but the surroundings can be really crowded at peak hoursThe beautiful green and white masjid is inside the Dargah Shariff grounds. Lots of people there when we visited. Many stalls selling flowers and things for offerings.Its one of the biggest mosques located inside darga sharif, with great peace over there .must visit and pray there.

Situated at Ander Kote Rd, Khadim Mohalla, Diggi Bazaar, Ajmer, Rajasthan 305001.I first visited the Mosque in the year 2001 and then again in 2018 finally after a long period. Feeling really great and peaceful so many memories of 2001 comes alive once again.This grand Akbari Masjid was built by Mugal Emperor Akbar. Also there is a religious institution (Madarsa) called Darul-Uloom, within this masjid.According to the Ain-e-Akbari, emperor Akbar had to visit Ajmer for military purposes during 1561 to 1568 A.D. but in the year 1570, Akbar knowing the spiritual powers of Khwaja saheb, came to the Dargah and requested Khwaja saheb to fulfil his desire for a son. And as his desire was fulfilled, he got a son named Salim. Akbar came to Ajmer Dargah on foot from Agra to pay homage and to thank Khwaja saheb. The trek from Agra to Ajmer took him 15 days. Akbar had a beautiful mosque constructed in the same year. This mosque is today known as Akbari Mosque. Akbar built this mosque of red stones in 1570 A. D. Its central arch is 56 ft. high.Akbari MasjidThis Mosque was constructed by Emperor Akbar as a token of his Devotion and Gratitude on the occasion of the birth of prince Salim (Jahangir) in the year 1455 A.D. It is a Square of 140x140x2 feet and its central area is 56 (feets) high. In the centre, there had been a hauz (tank) for wazoo (ablution).Owing to certain resons, the hauz was closed and covered. Now the Mosque is known as Akbari Mosque. At present this place also houses a Quranic Educational Institution to provide religious education to the children.This Mosque was build by Mughal Emoeror Akbar the great. Who came to Ajmer from Agra to ask for a son to Khawaja Moinuddin Chishty R.A. When he got son he build this Mosque.Akhbari Masjid: It is a monument of the Akbar’s period. After six months of the birth of Prince Salim (Jahangir), Emperor Akbar visited the Astana-e-Alia in Ajmer and ordered the construction of the mosque.It is made of red stones.The mosque including other adjacent buildings is 140 ft.long and 140 ft. wide The height of its arch is 56 ft.In 1571 Akbar initiated the building of the mosque AKBARI MASJID which is named after him at the shrine, and in 1579 he had the mausoleum of Hazrat Khwaja Moinuddin Chishtyfurther embellished. This is mentioned in an inscription painted in golden nastaliq lettering inside the dome of the mausoleum. For early topographical descriptions of Ajmer and its shrine, reliance must be placed on the foreign travelers who went there. Contemporary local authors give no such descriptions. W. Finch, who was in India between 1608 and 1611, left the following account of the shrine:Ajmer is only famous for the sepulcher of Hazrat Khwaja Moinuddin Chishty, a saint much respected by the Mughals.This Mosque was built by Mughal Emperor Akbar the great.

MashaAllah Awhat a beaubeaut masjid. If you are not able to find place for jumma prayer in any masjid in ajmer sharif dargah then try this one you will definitely find spot here inshaAllah. Its just because timing of jumma prayer is late comparing other masjid.In winter you may find hot wate here for wodoo(wozu) for fajar prayer.Also in the compund of this masjid, there is doctors available some times(when i visited in feb month, those doctors were taking no money or may be 5rs per person so its very helpful for poor pepoles)
