The most notable change is that Mount Abu will now officially be known as <strong>Aburaj<\/strong>. Along with this, the town of <strong>Kaman<\/strong> has been renamed <strong>Kamvan<\/strong>, and <strong>Jahazpur<\/strong> will now be called <strong>Yagyapur<\/strong>. The announcement was made in the state assembly by Bhajan Lal Sharma, the Chief Minister of Rajasthan.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The government stated that the renaming initiative is aimed at restoring traditional identities and respecting the historical and cultural significance of these places. Administrative processes have begun to update official records, government documents, and signboards to reflect the new names.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Mount_Abu_Becomes_Aburaj\"><\/span>Mount Abu Becomes Aburaj<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Mount Abu, located in the Sirohi district, is the <strong>only hill station in Rajasthan<\/strong> and a popular tourist destination. Situated in the Aravalli Range, it has long served as a summer retreat due to its cool climate and scenic beauty.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>With the new name <strong>Aburaj<\/strong>, the state government aims to highlight the region\u2019s indigenous and historical roots rather than its colonial-era naming. The hill station is famous for attractions such as the Dilwara Jain Temples, Nakki Lake, and the Mount Abu Wildlife Sanctuary. Despite the name change, tourism activities and visitor experiences in the region will remain unchanged.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Kaman_Renamed_as_Kamvan\"><\/span>Kaman Renamed as Kamvan<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Another significant change is the renaming of <strong>Kaman<\/strong>, a town in the Bharatpur district of Rajasthan. The town has strong cultural and religious connections with the Braj region and is associated with stories related to Lord Krishna.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The new name <strong>Kamvan<\/strong> reflects ancient and mythological references connected to the region. It is expected that the renaming will strengthen the town\u2019s identity as a religious and cultural destination, particularly for pilgrims visiting the Braj circuit.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Jahazpur_to_be_Known_as_Yagyapur\"><\/span>Jahazpur to be Known as Yagyapur<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>The third city affected by the renaming decision is <strong>Jahazpur<\/strong>, located in the Bhilwara district. The town is historically important due to its medieval fort and ancient temple ruins that reflect Rajasthan\u2019s rich architectural heritage.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The new name <strong>Yagyapur<\/strong> is derived from Sanskrit terminology associated with sacred rituals or \u201cyagya.\u201d The government believes that the name better represents the town\u2019s traditional and cultural roots.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Governments_Objective_Behind_the_Renaming_Initiative\"><\/span>Government\u2019s Objective Behind the Renaming Initiative<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>The Rajasthan government stated that the renaming initiative is part of a broader effort to reconnect places with their historical and cultural identities. According to officials, many Indian cities were given names during colonial periods that did not reflect their traditional heritage.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>By restoring names linked to local history, mythology, and culture, the government aims to promote regional pride and preserve historical memory. Similar renaming efforts have been seen in other Indian states as well.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity\"\/>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure

In ancient texts, the region was known as <strong>Arbuda<\/strong> or <strong>Arbudaranya<\/strong>, meaning the forest of Arbuda. Over time, this name evolved into \u201cAbu.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>According to legend, the sage Vashistha performed a sacred yajna at Mount Abu to protect righteousness on earth. The region has therefore been associated with spiritual traditions and religious legends for centuries.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Colonial_Influence_on_Place_Names\"><\/span>Colonial Influence on Place Names<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>During the British colonial period, many locations in India were renamed or anglicised for administrative convenience. Mount Abu itself became a popular British-era hill station and a retreat from the desert heat of Rajasthan.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In recent decades, several Indian states have attempted to restore traditional names to reflect indigenous culture and heritage.
