Geography

How big is Rajasthan?

Quick answer

Rajasthan is India’s largest state by area. The figure widely published is about 342,239 square kilometres. Use the Survey of India or the state government if you need a figure for an examination key or a formal document.

Detailed answer

Largest by area does not mean largest by population. Population figures should be taken from the census, and the 2011 census is still the last full census many textbooks quote. Do not invent a 2026 population.

The Thar covers much of the west. The Aravalli runs from the southwest toward the northeast and separates much of the desert from the eastern plains.
