of details
Inside Dargah Sharif two big Deghs (pots) are installed for cooking Niaz
(purely vegetarian food; cooked with rice, ghee, nuts, safron & sugar). The
system of cooking food in cauldron (Degh) was first introduced by Akbar. Since then
a large quantity of food of different kinds has always been cooked in Deghs generally
at night, and is distributed among the people after Fajr (morning) prayers.
Tomes Coryat, who visited Ajmer, at the time of Jahangir, says that the Mughal emperor
once ordered the preparation of Khichri in the Degh to be distributed among
5000 people, taking out the first
on a platter with his own hands, followed by the Queen, Noor Jehan, and other ladies
of the Harem. Once, Shahjahan mixed the meat of a Nilgai (one of the species of
antelope) in the preparation of Degh, which he had shot during a hunting expedition.
In the second half of the eighteenth century, when Ajmer came under the control
of the Marathas and Rajputs, a new kind of food known as Kesaria Bhat (saffroned
sweet rice) was cooked in these Deghs and that has continued to this day.
