History
Danpur was a jagir during British India, owned by Lalkhani Badgujar, Muslim Rajput community.[2].[3][4]
Present Status
Danpur housed the Dargah Shariff of Hazrat Khwaja Muinuddin Chishti includes many other attractive buildings, tombs, courtyards and Daalaans. Akbar was the first Moghul Emperor to visit the Dargah on foot when Ajmer came under his possession. He built the Akbari Masjid in the Dargah in 1571 A.d. which is a spacious mosque (140x140) feet. It was repaired by Nawab Ghafur Ali Khan of Danapur in 1901 A.D. One of its wings now accommodates the Moiniua Usmania Darul-Uloom, an Arabic and Persain School, for religious education which is run by the management of the Dargah.[5][6][7]
Danpur has several High Schools and couple of Collages.[1]
