The secret of the cave has been hidden for centuries
According to many local stories and beliefs associated with Sufi saints, there is an ancient cave in the Ajmer Sharif Dargah complex that has now disappeared from the eyes of the common people. It is said that this cave goes directly to the darkness under the earth and this path has been called the path opening towards the “gate of hell” or “invisible world”. Historians believe that this cave was once used by the devotees and saints of the Dargah for meditation and practice. On the other hand, in many stories, it has been described as the center of secret tantric practices and mysterious powers. Some people say that this tunnel has such a dark and frightening energy that it is impossible for the common man to stay there for a long time.

Why is it called the “path of hell”?
There are many mysterious stories behind this cave being called “cave of hell”. It is said that whoever went to this cave never returned. The writing of some old Sufi saints mentions that this tunnel goes to a place where souls wander and deeds are taken out. It is also believed that this place works as an energy cycle, where only proven seekers can go.

Ajmer Sharif Dargah is not just a dargah, but a spiritual power center. There is some story attached to every brick and every wall present here. Many elderly Sufi fakirs believe that this cave was a medium of contact with a supernatural world, giving the seekers a way to reach the peak of enlightenment and spirituality. However, today this place is closed for the common people and is not opened to the common people.

What is the truth?
Historians and archaeologists do not completely deny the existence of this cave. According to him, many religious places in India had a system of secret tunnels and underground routes, which were created for emergency situations or meditation. It is possible that such a tunnel is present in a huge and ancient structure like Ajmer Sharif, but calling it “the way to hell” is nothing more than superstition and imagination. Despite this, there is a mystery about this cave as the dargah management and local administration do not talk openly on the subject. Many times it has also been said that the tunnel has been closed so that no accident or rumor spreads.

Experiences of some contenders
Some spiritual seekers and people following the tantric path claim that they have experienced some amazing energies within the dargah. They believe that this tunnel is still active today, but only people who have reached high levels of microscopic consciousness or practice can contact. Once a seeker claimed that during meditation he heard the echoed voices from the tunnel, which seemed to come from another world. This alleged cave still remains a mystery under the Ajmer Sharif Dargah. Whether it is a legend or part of an ancient structure – its discussion creates both faith and enthusiasm in the minds of the people. In the era of modern science, where every secret is tried to resolve, there are some secrets that can be understood only by time, faith and experience. Perhaps this is the reason that Ajmer Sharif is not just a dargah, but a place where faith, miracles and mystery together shock human consciousness.
