Banswara district, Administrative district in Udaipur division, India.
Description
Banswara district spreads across southern Rajasthan with multiple lakes and the Mahi River running through its terrain. The landscape combines water bodies, forested areas, and farmland that shape how people live and work here.
History
The name Banswara comes from 1529 following events involving the Bhil chief Bansia who once held control of this territory. Its location between two states made it a transitional zone with shifting influences throughout history.
Culture
The Bhil communities have shaped local traditions and artisan practices that remain visible throughout the district. Visitors can observe traditional crafts and daily customs practiced in villages and markets.
Practical
The district is administered from Banswara city as its main center and is divided into several administrative sections serving different areas. Travel through the region is possible using local buses and roads connecting the main towns.
