The Maharaja of Nabha was greatly devoted to Babaji
Mahraj. Babaji Maharaj stayed at his Nabha Estate in Shimla. He later persuaded
Shri Babaji Maharaj to come and live with him at Nabha State for a while, and
Shri Babaji Maharaj agreed. The Maharaja placed a full independent bungalow at
the disposal of Shri Babaji Maharaj, which was known as Malbe Vaali Kothi.
Babaji Maharaj stayed at Nabha till the death of the Maharaja.
