Currently known as Adhai-din-ka-Zopda (the 2-1/2 day cottage) in Ajmer (alias Ajeya-Meru) this edifice was a magnificent, majestic Hindu temple. Invading Muslims battering it for 2-1/2 days after capture reduced the mansion to desolation--hence the name. Historians, architects and archaeologists blindly ascribing it to Muslim creation lustily describe ancient classic Hindu architectural masterpieces as Islamic.

The pillars depict they are from demolished hindu temple
but the name ajmer may not have come from ajeya-meru..because in rajasthan there are places having similar names like jaisalmer,bikaner etc
