Rajasthan is a state in India’s northwestern region. The state is 342,239 square kilometres in size, accounting for 10.4% of India’s total geographical area. It is the largest Indian state in terms of land area and population. Rajasthan, often known as the “Land of Kings” or “Land of Kingdom,” is India‘s biggest state in terms of land area. The state is located in the northwest corner of the country and is a melting pot of cultures. In nearly every city, there are remnants of the Indus Valley Civilization, as well as temples, forts, and fortresses. Rajasthan is split into nine regions: Ajmer State, Hadoti, Dhundhar, Gorwar, Shekhawati, Mewar, Marwar, Vagad, and Mewat, each with its own historical and cultural contributions.

These areas have a history that parallels the state’s. Keoladeo National Park, in Bharatpur, is a UNESCO World Heritage Site noted for its  fauna. Aside from that, the state is home to two national tiger reserves: Ranthambore National Park in Sawai Madhopur and Sariska Tiger Reserve in Alwar.

It shares a border with Pakistan to the northwest and Sindh to the west since it is located on the western edge of the nation.

Punjab, Uttar Pradesh, and Haryana are to its north; Madhya Pradesh and Gujarat are to its southeast. The state’s splendour is preserved through its magnificent palaces, forts, and monuments. This princely state’s lively culture and rich legacy attract a large number of tourists from all over the world.
