This property of the Maharaja was formerly the official summer residence of the Chief Minister. The only hill station of Rajasthan, Mount Abu has a very diverse history associated with many periods. It was once the part of the Chauhan Kingdom of Rajasthan and was the summer resort for the Rajput kings. During British Raj the region was given for lease to the British government by the Maharaja of Sirohi, for use as a administrative headquarter of the Rajputana state. It was the favorite summer destination of the British. In Hindu mythology this place also occupies a significant place, as it was the home for many saints in old days. It is also an important Jain pilgrimage centre as Lord Mahavir, the 24th Jain Tirthankar had visited this place.
