Q. Who built ‘Adhai Din Ka Jhopra’ or ‘A hut of two and a half days’ at Ajmer?
Answer: Qutbuddin Aibak
Notes: Adhai Din ka Jhonpra, a Sanskrit college from 1153 A.D., was converted into a mosque by Qutb-ud-Din Aibak in 1193 in Ajmer, Rajasthan. It showcases Hindu and Islamic architectural styles, notable for its calligraphy and arched screens. The name likely comes from a nearby two-and-a-half-day fair. It features inscriptions in Arabic and Nagari, reflecting diverse historical influences.
