A double-decker cruise with a capacity of carrying 150 passengers will be the new attraction in Rajasthan's Ajmer, which is famous for the shrine of Sufi saint, Khwaja Moinuddin Chisti, and Brahma temple in Pushkar.
This will be the first cruise facility in the desert state.
The cruise will sail in Ana Sagar lake of the city. “The cruise service is likely to start in the first week of March. The work tender was given last year, and it will be ready by February. The corporation will get an income of ₹66.5 lakh every year,” an official of the Ajmer Municipal Corporation said.
