Barmer district, Administrative district in western Rajasthan, India.

Barmer district spans across 28,387 square kilometers within the Thar Desert, experiencing temperatures ranging from 0°C in winter to 51°C in summer.

The region was formerly known as Malani, deriving its current name from founder Bahada Rao Parmar who established the original settlement of Juna Barmer.

The Mallinath cattle fair in Tilwara stands as one of India's largest gatherings, featuring traditional Marwari folk music and regional handicraft displays.

The district connects to major cities through an extensive road network, with October to March offering the most suitable conditions for visiting.

Recent oil field discoveries by Cairn Energy and ONGC have transformed this desert region into a significant petroleum production center in India.
