Rajasthan Atlas: The Complete Rajasthan Map, Districts, Divisions and River System Guide
If you are searching for the Rajasthan Map, the Rajasthan New Map, or trying to understand the Rajasthan New District structure, you have landed on the right page. The Rajasthan Atlas is an interactive study tool built specifically for RAS, RPSC, and other Rajasthan state exam aspirants, but it is equally useful for students, teachers, journalists, and anyone who simply wants to look up a district on the map — like the Jaipur Map, Bikaner Map, Bharatpur Map, or Dholpur Map.
This page brings together everything you need to know about Rajasthan's new geography — the state's 41 districts, its 7 divisions, and its river systems — all in one place, and all linked directly to the interactive atlas.
What is the Rajasthan Atlas?
The Rajasthan Atlas is a bilingual (English – Hindi), fully interactive Rajasthan Map with more than 90 toggleable data layers and 500+ mapped features — rivers, forts, crops, minerals, tiger reserves, wildlife sanctuaries, and the Panch Gaurav (five prides) of every district. Instead of memorising a static image, learners can click any district — whether they are searching for the Jaipur Map, the Jodhpur Map, the Udaipur Map, or the Bikaner Map — and instantly see its Census 2011 data, cultural region, geographical features, and everything connected to it across all layers.
It is designed to answer exactly the kind of everyday searches people make: "Bharatpur Map," "Dholpur Map," "Jaipur Map," "Bikaner Map," and so on — one map for every one of Rajasthan's 41 districts.
How to use the Rajasthan Atlas
- Open the interactive map: click "Open the map" to load the base Rajasthan Map, showing all 41 districts by default.
- Toggle the layers you need: use the layers panel to switch on rivers, tiger reserves, major crops, minerals, forts, or any of the 90+ available layers — turn off what you don't need to keep the map clean.
- Click any district to open its profile: whether you searched for the Jaipur Map, Bikaner Map, or Bharatpur Map, clicking the district instantly opens its full profile — Census data, cultural region, Panch Gaurav, and every feature connected to it.
- Switch between English and Hindi anytime: use the EN/हिं toggle to read any layer, label, or district profile in your preferred language, without reloading the page.
- Use Revise mode for quick recall: the map hides labels and asks you to identify districts, rivers, or features — ideal for last-minute RAS or RPSC revision.
- Take the 60-second guided tour: first-time visitors can click "Take a 60-second tour" for a quick walkthrough of how layers, districts, and profiles connect.
- Study by topic instead of by district: the "Study by topic" section opens the map pre-filtered to a single theme — physical geography, rivers, or minerals — complete with its own legend.
Rajasthan New Map: understanding the latest administrative structure
The Rajasthan New Map has changed more than once in the last few years, and this is one of the most searched (and most confused) topics among exam aspirants. Here is the exact timeline:
- Before 2023: Rajasthan had 33 districts and 7 divisions — this was the structure for decades.
- August 2023: the then state government announced 19 new districts and 3 new divisions (based on the Ram Lubhaya Committee), taking the total to 50 districts and 10 divisions.
- December 2024: the new state government reviewed the reorganisation and dissolved 9 of the newly created districts and all 3 new divisions, citing lack of infrastructure and administrative viability.
- Current status (2026): Rajasthan now has 41 districts and 7 divisions — this is the figure to use for any current exam or reference.
Rajasthan New District list: the 8 districts that were retained
Out of the 19 districts created in 2023, these 8 new districts survived the 2024 review and remain on the current Rajasthan New District map: Balotra, Beawar, Deeg, Didwana-Kuchaman, Khairthal-Tijara, Kotputli-Behror, Phalodi, and Salumbar (also spelled Salumber).
Nine districts created in 2023 were dissolved in December 2024 and merged back into their parent districts: Anupgarh, Dudu, Gangapur City, Jaipur Rural, Jodhpur Rural, Kekri, Neem Ka Thana, Sanchore, and Shahpura. The three divisions of Pali, Sikar, and Banswara were also annulled, bringing the divisional count back to 7.
Aspirant tip: a lot of content online still shows the old "50 districts" figure. For any current-affairs-based question in RAS or RPSC exams, the correct, up-to-date answer is 41 districts and 7 divisions (as of 30 December 2024).
Rajasthan Divisions: the 7 Sambhags
The Rajasthan Divisions (Sambhag in Hindi) group the state's 41 districts into 7 administrative units, each headed by a Divisional Commissioner:
| Division | Districts |
|---|
| Ajmer Division | Ajmer, Bhilwara, Nagaur, Tonk, Beawar |
| Bharatpur Division | Bharatpur, Dholpur, Karauli, Sawai Madhopur, Deeg |
| Bikaner Division | Bikaner, Churu, Hanumangarh, Sri Ganganagar |
| Jaipur Division | Jaipur, Alwar, Sikar, Jhunjhunu, Dausa, Khairthal-Tijara, Kotputli-Behror, Didwana-Kuchaman |
| Jodhpur Division | Jodhpur, Barmer, Jaisalmer, Jalore, Pali, Sirohi, Balotra, Phalodi |
| Kota Division | Kota, Bundi, Baran, Jhalawar |
| Udaipur Division | Udaipur, Banswara, Chittorgarh, Dungarpur, Rajsamand, Pratapgarh, Salumbar |
Rajasthan River System: the lifelines of the state
The Rajasthan River System is one of the most tested topics in RAS Geography, largely because Rajasthan is unusually dry and its rivers behave differently depending on which side of the Aravalli range they flow. Broadly, the rivers fall into three groups:
- Inland drainage rivers: Ghaggar, Kantli, Kakni, and Sabi — seasonal streams that vanish into the desert or inland basins and never reach the sea.
- Rivers flowing to the Arabian Sea: Luni (ending in the Rann of Kutch), Mahi, Sabarmati, and West Banas, draining the south and south-west of the state.
- Rivers flowing to the Bay of Bengal (Ganga basin): Chambal — Rajasthan's largest river by water volume — with its tributaries Banas, Kalisindh, and Parbati, draining the Hadoti (Kota) region.
The atlas maps every major river alongside dams, canals (including the Indira Gandhi Canal), and irrigation zones, so you can see exactly which districts each river passes through — useful whether you're studying the Bikaner Map for the Indira Gandhi Canal belt or the Kota Map for the Chambal river valley.
Rajasthan New Geography: what else the atlas covers
Beyond districts, divisions, and rivers, the atlas is built around 17 curated study topics that map directly to the RAS and RPSC syllabus:
- Physical divisions — the Aravalli Range, the Thar Desert, the Eastern Plains, and the Hadoti Plateau
- Climate and rainfall patterns across the arid west and the relatively humid south-east
- Soil types and their distribution
- Forests, wildlife sanctuaries, and tiger/leopard reserves
- Minerals and mining — Rajasthan is India's leading producer of several minerals
- Agriculture and major crops, district by district
- Irrigation projects — canals, dams, and lift irrigation schemes
- Energy — solar, wind, and thermal power zones
- Transport and industrial corridors, including the Delhi–Mumbai Industrial Corridor (DMIC)
- State symbols — state animal, bird, tree, flower, and more
