Sirohi district

Sirohi is an administrative district in western Rajasthan that encompasses parts of the Aravalli mountain range and surrounding terrain. The region contains several towns and administrative subdivisions scattered across hilly and flatter areas.

The region was founded in the 15th century when a settlement on a hilltop was established as an administrative center. Over time, it developed into a significant area under various local rulers.

Sword craftsmanship remains a living tradition here, passed down through families who continue making these distinctive weapons. Local workshops showcase artisans at work, keeping skills and methods alive that have defined the region for centuries.

The area is best explored by car or public buses, as distances between towns are considerable. Most visitors combine time here with journeys to better-known destinations in the region.

A highland range cuts through the territory, dividing areas into different climate zones with noticeable differences between north and south. This geographical split shapes which plants thrive and how the landscape appears across the region.
