Jaipur: The Rajasthan government has announced that Mount Abu will now be officially known as Aburaj, as part of a broader move to restore historical identities of cities and towns in the state.

Chief Minister Bhajanlal Sharma made the announcement in the Rajasthan Assembly on Friday. Along with Mount Abu’s renaming, Kaman will be called Kamvan and Jahazpur will be renamed Yagyapur.

The state government said the decision was taken to honour local sentiments and revive the traditional and cultural heritage associated with these places. Official records, signage and government documents will be updated accordingly. DeshGujarat
