Dilwara Jain Temples in Mount Abu- Rajasthan
Mount Abu, literally Hill of Wisdom, is
Rajasthans only hill station. Sprawling along a 2km long
plateau, it is at an altitude of 1220 metres, and is the highest point
on the Aravalli ranges. Abu was the summer resort for the Maharajas
and the princes to escape the sweltering desert. The gigantic blocks
of rock, towering along the crest of the hill, the lush green trees
and the colourful birds and animals make Abu one of the most beautiful
hill stations in India. Mount Abu is also a major Rajput and Jain
pilgrimage centre.
