History

               The ancient name of Mount Abu is Arbudaanchal.



[citation needed] In the Puranas, the region has been referred to as Arbudaranya (forest of Arbhuda) and 'Abu' is a diminutive of this ancient name.



 It is believed that sage Vashistha retired to the southern spur at Mount Abu following his differences with sage Vishvamitra.


There is another history story according to which a serpent named "Arbuda" saved the life of Nandi (Lord Shiva's bull). 

The incident happened on the mountain that is currently known as Mount Abu and so the mountain is named Arbudaranya after that incident which gradually became Abu.



The conquest of Mount Abu in 1311 CE by Rao Lumba of the Deora-Chauhan dynasty brought to an end the reign of the Parmars and marked the decline of Mount Abu.




[citation needed] He shifted the capital city to Chandravati in the plains. 

        After the destruction of Chandravati in 1405, Rao Shasmal made Sirohi his headquarters.



 Later it was leased by the British government from the then Maharaja of Sirohi for use as the headquarters.citation needed
