The town of Mount Abu, the only hill station in Rajasthan, is located at an elevation of 1220 meters. It has been a popular retreat from the heat of Rajasthan and neighbouring Gujarat for centuries. The Mount Abu Wildlife Sanctuary was established in 1960 and covers 290 km of the mountain. Mount Abu is home to a number of Jain temples. The Dilwara Temples are a complex of temples, carved of white marble, that were built between the 11th and 13th centuries AD. The oldest of these is the Vimal Vasahi temple, built in 1031 AD by Vimal Shah and dedicated to the first of the Jain Tirthankaras. The Lun Vasahi Temple were built in 1231 AD by the brothers Vastupal and Tejpal, who belonged to the Porwal Jain community. They were ministers of Raja Vir Dhawal, a local ruler of Gujarat. http://www.jaipurtravels.com/ http://www.namaskarindiatravels.com/ http://www.rajasthantravelsguide.com/ http://www.jaipurtravelguide.com/ http://www.jaipurtourismguide.com/ http://www.hillstationindiatour.com/ http://www.wildlifeindiatravel.com/ http://www.travelpackagerajasthan.com/ http://www.travelpackageindia.com/ http://www.udaipurtravels.com/ http://www.agratravels.com/ http://www.indiantravelguideindia.com/ http://www.jaipurjaipur.com/ http://www.indianhotelsindia.com/ http://jaipurtravelsguide.blogspot.com/ http://rajasthantravelsguide.blogspot.com/ http://www.pushkartravels.com/ http://www.rajasthantravelguide.co.in/ http://www.traveltoindia.biz/ http://www.info4india.com/ http://indiatravelsguide.blogspot.com/ http://travelguiderajasthan.blogspot.com/ http://aahindia.blogspot.com/ http://worldtravelsguide.blogspot.com/ http://jaipurtourguide.wordpress.com/ http://jaipurrajasthanindia.blogspot.com/ Sources :expressindia.rediffqna.com
