Jalore district

Jalore is an administrative district in western Rajasthan featuring granite deposits and the Sundha peak. The territory consists of several towns and villages connected by rural areas and farmland.

The region formed from three administrative territories named Jalore, Jaswantpura, and Sanchore. It became part of Rajasthan state in 1949 following Indian independence.

The people here speak Marwari and Rajasthani, keeping farming traditions that have passed through generations. This way of life shapes how villages and towns look and feel throughout the district.

The district connects to the wider region through National Highway 15 and the Raniwara-Samdara railway line. Jodhpur airport serves as the nearest flying option for visitors arriving from outside.

The region contains large amounts of gypsum, limestone, and granite extracted from local hills and rock formations. Mining is an important economic activity that supports communities across the district.
