Tonk district, Administrative district in Rajasthan, India

The district spans 7,194 square kilometers across western India, bordered by Jaipur district to the north and Sawai Madhopur district to the east.

Established in 1817 under Nawab Amir Khan, Tonk district functioned as the capital of a princely state during the British colonial period until India's independence.

Tonk district features multiple religious structures including the Shahi Jama Masjid, Bisaldeo Temple, and Diggi Kalyan Ji Mandir, reflecting its diverse heritage.

The district contains nine administrative tehsils, with its headquarters in Tonk city, located approximately 95 kilometers south of Jaipur along National Highway 12.

The region gained scientific interest after a meteorite fell within its boundaries in 1911, now known as the Tonk meteorite in geological records.
