The Sirohi is having seventh century-old Sun Temple at Varman. Besides this, the Sun Temples are also situated at Basantgarh, Bhainsa Singh, and Bhula area. The ruins of the famous medieval township Chandrawati, Mawal, and Rishikesh are situated in the district. Earlier the district was ruled by Parmars. Later in the 15^th century, Deora Chauhan occupied the Sirohi area and paved the foundation of Sirohi. The name Sirohi derives from Sir=head; rohi=desert (Col. Tod, 1909). The second line of thought thinks that Sirohi literally means sword. Sirohi was famous for sword manufacturing during the British period and carries its legacy till date. During British time, Sirohi state offered land at Mt Abu for the summer capital of Rajputana province. After independence, the present Sirohi region is amalgamated in Rajasthan.
