‘Dhai Din Ka Jhopra’ is situated at a distance of about 500 meters from Ajmer Sharif Dargah. This approximately 800 year old building is protected by the Archaeological Survey of India. Prayers are offered in the mosque inside the structure. Some historians claim that a temple and a center of Sanskrit education was established here by Maharaja Vigraharaj Chauhan. Qutubuddin Aibak demolished it on the orders of Mohammad Ghori and replaced it with the present building in just two and a half days. This building was built from the debris of the temple, which is why many Hindu symbols, including the Swastika, are still present in it. Recently, a BJP MP again demanded the Central Government to start a temple and educational institution here.
