Danta is located close to the Gujarat-Rajasthan border, having social ties with the royal families on both the sides. The royal edifices of Danta reflect the blending of architecture of both the regions.

Danta town is situated at the foothills of Aravalli hill range. The landscape of forest and hills, with huge boulders, make a perfect setting for this town. The entire region is populated by the Bhil tribe and has forests with diverse flora and fauna.

The royal house of Danta was ruled by the Parnar Rajputs. They arrived in Gujarat in the 12th century AD, from Nagarthatta in Sindh and established their first capital at Chandravati, which was later shifted to Tarsang in the Arasur hills. Tarsang finds mention in Mughal history as the rebel Jahangir was given shelter at Tarsang. About 350 year ago, the capital was finally moved to Danta.

Bhavani Villa is a colonial style villa, situated on a small hill and overlooking the Danta town on one side, the Old Palace on the rear side and the hills and forest on the other side. The oldest part of the house is almost 150 years old and although previously the residence of the Prime Minister of Danta State, it has been a family home since 1944. It is surrounded by the oldest mountain range The Arravalis which are still home to two very old tribes, The Bhils and The Garasiyas, who live in the little hamlets in these hills, their main occupation is farming and dairy. Using five of their rooms and adding modern amenities Bhavani Villa has now been converted into a home stay hotel, managed by the owners and where the guests are treated as family friends and as well as excellent hosting, enjoy traditional Rajput style home-cooked food, very different from the cuisine to be found in hotels! The house is at the edge of the forest so guests can take a morning or evening walk in the jungle and enjoy the flora and fauna, and also climb the hill for wonderful views of the surrounding area.
