Ajmer Government Museum
Founded in the 7th century by Ajai Pal Chauhan. Ajmer was the centre of Chauhan power till 1193 A.D and had many battles fought over. Yet its charm and valour were intact until the great warrior ruler Prithvi Raj Chauhan lost to Muhammed Gohri. And Ajmer passed on to multiple hands of Marwar rulers and finally the Mughals. Eventually, it was conquered by the Marathas, who subsequently lost it to the British and it became part of Rajasthan.
The Ajmer Government Museum, situated in the famous Lohagarh Fort, is also known as Bharatpur Museum. It preserves an array of archaeological artifacts from Bharatpur. It forms an essential destination for the Ajmer tours. Established in 1908 this museum has several exquisite antiques collated from the region of Rajasthan.
There are several sections within the museum such as Archaeology, Armory, Arts, Crafts and Industry, Children Gallery and the miscellaneous section. A rare collection of miniature paintings on the leaves of Peepal trees, mica, old litho papers and some of the finest paintings of the Maharajas of Bharatpur can be glimpsed inside the Art Gallery. For armour enthusiasts the collection of 'Chaddra', miniature canons of 18th century, displayed in two sets of eleven each will be sight to see. These were used in the battles fought within the territory of Jaipur by Maharaja Sawai Jawahar Singh. Another interesting array of artifacts constitutes of exhibits of Adhai-din-ka-Jhonpra, a mosque built from the ruins of Hindu and Jain temples on the same site within two and a half days. These are accompanied by the precious objects from the Gupta dynasty to the late medieval era.
