A contingent of 555 pilgrims -- all men -- from Pakistan arrived in Ajmer on Thursday by a special train to participate in the annual Urs of Khwaja Moinuddin Chisti.

The Pakistani group, the biggest since partition, has come after a gap of two years to take part in the 792nd Urs, sources said.

The pilgrims have brought with them an expensive velvet chadar for making a collective offering at the tomb of the Sufi saint.

They have brought chadars for individual offerings too.

The Rajasthan government has provided the visitors accommodation and other facilities.
