ajasthan, covering an area of 342,239 sq km, is the largest state in India by land area. Before Chhattisgarh was carved out in 2000, Madhya Pradesh held that distinction. Situated in western India, Rajasthan showcases two contrasting landscapes, arid desert expanses and forested terrain. This diversity gives the state a unique ecological and cultural character.

The ancient Aravalli mountain range runs through Rajasthan, dividing it into two distinct climatic zones. To the west lies the Thar Desert, which occupies a significant portion of the state. The eastern region is more fertile and forested, featuring species like Sal, Axlewood, Dhak, and Mesquite.
