Jhalawar district, Administrative district in southeastern Rajasthan, India.

The district spans 6,219 square kilometers at the edge of the Malwa Plateau, with the Kali Sindh River flowing through its center.

The territory belonged to the princely state of Jhalawar until 1947, when India gained independence from British colonial rule.

The name Jhalawar originates from the Jhala Rajput clan, who established their dominion in this region during the late 18th century.

The district contains eight administrative subdivisions and twelve tehsil headquarters, serving a population of over 1.4 million inhabitants.

The town of Manoharthana receives such substantial rainfall that it earned the designation as the Cherrapunji of Rajasthan.
