Jodhpur district, Administrative district in western Rajasthan, India
Jodhpur district spans across desert plains and sand dunes in western Rajasthan. The Luni River flows through the southern regions, supporting what little vegetation grows in this dry landscape.
The region was once part of the Kingdom of Marwar before becoming part of independent India in 1947. This transition shaped the district's modern administrative boundaries.
The area is known for textile craftsmanship, with artisans in villages producing detailed embroidery and traditional garments. These skills are passed down through families and shape daily work across many communities.
The area connects to major Indian cities through Jodhpur Airport and extensive railway networks. These transportation hubs make it accessible for visitors coming from different regions.
The region features traditional water storage structures called tanks that support farming in this dry area. These structures show how communities have managed water scarcity over many generations.
