The Dargah of a sufi saint named Khwaja Moinuddin Chishti, who arrived in Ajmer from Persia at 1192, is known as Dargah Sharif or Ajmer Sharif. A notable position is held by Hazrat Khwaja Moinuddin Hasan Chishti among the world's spiritual healers. People of all faiths, castes, and creeds gather here to ask for the blessings of this Sufi saint by making a customary "chadar." The shrine is referred to as Khwaja Gareeb Nawaz, the benefactor of the poor, because of its philanthropic activity. The powerful Indian kings, both Muslim and Hindu, have honoured the great saint Khwaja Garib Nawaz in addition to the common people. Two large Deghs (pots) for cooking Niaz are put within Dargah Sharif (purely vegetarian food; cooked with rice, ghee, nuts, safron & sugar). Akbar was the one who initially popularised the cauldron (Degh) method of boiling food. Emperor Jahangir sent Choti Deg Ajmer as a gift; it has a cooking capacity of 2400 kg, or around 1,000,000 Indian Rupees.
