Rajasthan is a state in northern India. The state covers an area of 342,239 square kilometres (132,139 sq mi) or 10.4 percent of the total geographical area of India. It is the largest Indian state by area and the seventh largest by population. Rajasthan is located on the northwestern side of India, where it comprises most of the wide and inhospitable Thar Desert and shares a border with the Pakistani provinces of Punjab to the northwest and Sindh to the west, along the Sutlej-Indus river valley. Elsewhere it is bordered by five other Indian states: Punjab to the north; Haryana and Uttar Pradesh to the northeast; Madhya Pradesh to the southeast; and Gujarat to the southwest.
Before the formation of the Republic of India, the territory of present-day Sarada tehsil was part of the former Udaipur State. [4] With the formation of the United State of Rajasthan (precursor to the state of Rajasthan) in 1948, the new district of Udaipur was constituted which included the area of present-day Sarada tehsil. [4] In 2013, Sarada tehsil was sub-divided into two parts, with Semari tehsil being established as an independent tehsil, containing areas formerly under Sarada. [5] [6]
The Udaipur State, also known as Mewar State, was an independent state in northwestern India prior to the formation of the Indian Republic.
