It is the largest state in India by area. The capital of Rajasthan is <a href="../places/rajasthan-jaipur-district-506.htm">Jaipur</a>. The official language of Rajasthan is Hindi. The state encompasses the Great Indian Thar Desert.</p> <p> </p> <p><strong>History of Rajasthan</strong></p> <p> </p> <p>The history of Rajasthan starts from the time of Indus Valley Civilization and Rajasthan was built by many ethnic groups such as Rajputs, Jats, Yadavs and Gurjars. Etymologically Rajasthan means the land of kings. The land was ruled by Hemu, Maharana Pratap Singh and Rana Sanga. During the Akbar the Great, Samrat Hem Chandra Vikramaditya fought against Akbar and was killed in the Second Battle of Panipat. Then Mughal kings had to face resistance from Rana Pratap Singh. In 18<sup>th</sup> century, the Marathas and Pindaris attacked Rajputs. In 19<sup>th</sup> century, British defeated the Rajputs and the Rajput kings were allowed to continue their rule as they accepted the sovereignty of British. The Indian state of Rajasthan was formed on 30<sup>th</sup> March 1949. Due to its long and strong history, many ancient forts and monuments are seen to date in various parts of Rajasthan.</p> <p> </p> <p><strong>Geography and Climate of Rajasthan</strong></p> <p> </p> <p>Rajasthan spreads over an area of 342,269 square kilometers and has <a href="../places/gujarat-state-7.htm">Gujarat</a> in the southwest, <a href="../places/madhya-pradesh-state-14.htm">Madhya Pradesh</a> in the southeast, <a href="../places/uttar-pradesh-state-26.htm">Uttar Pradesh</a> and <a href="../places/haryana-state-8.htm">Haryana</a> in the northeast, <a href="../places/punjab-state-21.htm">Punjab</a> in the north and Pakistan in the west. The main physiographical features of Rajasthan are Aravalli ranges and Thar Desert. The northwestern part of Rajasthan lies in the rain shadow region of Aravalli ranges and so remains a dry desert. The average annual rainfall of this region is less than 400 mm. The temperature in summer rises as high as 40 degree Celsius and in winter it drops to below freezing point. The Luni River, Ghaggar River, Chambal River and Saraswati River are some of the rivers flowing through Rajasthan.</p> <p> </p> <p><strong>Natural Resources of Rajasthan</strong></p> <p> </p> <p>Though a part of Rajasthan is covered by desert, rich flora and fauna could be seen in other parts. The diversity of fauna includes eagles, vultures, harriers, buzzards, tigers, etc. Some of the national parks and sanctuaries in Rajasthan are Keoladeo National Park, Sariska Tiger Reserve, Ranthambore National Park, Desert National Park at <a href="../places/rajasthan-jaisalmer-district-507.htm">Jaisalmer</a>, Tal Chhapar Sanctuary, Darrah Sanctuary, Jaisamand Sanctuary and Kumbhalgarh Wildlife Sanctuary.</p> <p> </p> <p><strong>Rajasthan State Map With Districts</strong></p> <p> </p> <p> </p> <p>There are 33 districts in Rajasthan as of June 2012 and they come under seven divisions namely Ajmer Division, Bharatpur Division, Bikaner Division, Jaipur Division, Jodhpur Division, Kota Division and Udaipur Division.
