Calling all Ajmer history lovers - we need YOUR photos!
I am one of the founders of Project Bhaskar, Ajmer.
Bhaskar is an acronym forभारतीय संस्कृति एवं कृत्रिम बुद्धिमत्ता रचनाशाला(Creative Laboratory for Indian Culture and Artificial Intelligence). We are building the space as an AI lab focused on culture tech, library and knowledge club (coming soon). We have already started weekly events in AI, culture etc.
We are organising an Ajmer History Exhibition in July, and are thus on the lookout for rare, personal photographs of historical Ajmer - the kind that you find in family albums and old boxes, unseen by the world.
If your family has old photographs of Ajmer - whether it's the Dargah Sharif, Ana Sagar Lake, old bazaars, colonial-era buildings, or just everyday street life from decades gone by - we'd love to hear from you. Even a single photo can add something irreplaceable to this exhibition.
This is a wonderful opportunity to bring hidden pieces of Ajmer's past into the light and share them with a wider audience.
What we're looking for:
Personal or family archive photographs of Ajmer (pre-1940s especially welcome)
Images of landmarks, streets, festivals, or daily life
Any era — colonial, or post-independence
Drop your photos in the comments, or DM me if you'd prefer to share privately. Please include any details you know: approximate year, location, or the story behind the photo. It all adds so much context.
Helps us piece together Ajmer's visual history together. 🙏
