Rajasthan pronunciation is the largest state of the Republic of India in
terms of area. It encompasses most of the area of the large,
inhospitable Great Indian Desert (Thar Desert), which has an edge
paralleling the Sutlej-Indus river valley along its border with
Pakistan. The region borders Pakistan to the west, Gujarat to the
southwest, Madhya Pradesh to the southeast, Uttar Pradesh and Haryana to
the northeast and Punjab to the north. Rajasthan covers an area of
342,239 km (132,139 mi).
The state capital is Jaipur. Geographical features include the Thar
Desert along north-western Rajasthan and the termination of the Ghaggar
River near the archeological ruins at Kalibanga, which are the oldest in
the subcontinent discovered so far.
One of the world's oldest mountain ranges, the Aravalli Range, cradles
the only hill station of Rajasthan, Mount Abu, and its world-famous
Dilwara Temples, a sacred pilgrimage for Jains. Eastern Rajasthan has
two national tiger reserves, Ranthambore and Sariska, as well as
Keoladeo National Park near Bharatpur, famous for its bird life.
Rajasthan was formed on 30 March 1949, when all erstwhile princely
states merged into India. The only difference between erstwhile
Rajputana and Rajasthan is that certain portions governed directly by
the British Government, in the former province of Ajmer-Merwara, were
included. Portions lying geographically outside of Rajputana and
belonging to Tonk state were given to Madhya Pradesh.
