Ajmer Rao- Ajmer is a city in the Ajmer district of Rajasthan
Shaheen Badoor Khan- Shaheen is a middle eastern name that means peregrine falcon, Badoor is a village in the Kasaragod district of Kerala, India, and Khan is many things. It is an old, central asian title for a sovereign or military ruler. It is also a river in Namibia.
