The area is 2710 sq. m. The plateau, on whose centre stands the town of Ajmer, may be considered as the highest point in the plains of Hindustan; from the circle of hills which hem it in, the country slopes away on every side - towards river valleys on the east, south, west and towards the desert region on the north.
The Aravalli Range is the distinguishing feature of the district. The range of hills which runs between Ajmer and Nasirabad marks the watershed of the continent of India. The rain which falls on one side drains into the Chambal , and so into the Bay of Bengal; that which falls on the other side into the Luni , which discharges itself into the Rann of Kutch.
The province is on the border of what may be called the arid zone ; it is the debatable land between the north-eastern and south-western monsoons, and beyond the influence of either. The south-west monsoon sweeps up the Nerbudda valley from Bombay and crossing the tableland at Neemuch gives copious supplies to MalwaMalwa is a region of central India, lying in the western part of Madhya Pradesh state. It lies at the headwaters of the Chambal River and its tributaries, the Kali Sindh and the Parbati. Ujjain is the ancient center of the region, and Indore is presently, Jhalawar and Kotah and the countries which lie in the course of the Chambal river.
The clouds which strike KathiawarKathiawar is a peninsula in western India. It is part of Gujarat state, bounded on the north by the great wetland of the Rann of Kutch, on the northwest by the Gulf of Kutch, on the west and south by the Arabian Sea, and on the southeast and east by the G and KutchKutch (also Cutch or Kachh) is a district of Gujarat state in western India. It is the largest district of the state of Gujarat and the second largest district in India covering an area of 45,612 km2. The name Kutch apparently comes from the shape of the are deprived of a great deal of their moisture by the hills in those countries, and the greater part of the remainder is deposited on Mount AbuMount Abu is the highest peak in the Aravalli Range of Rajasthan state, in western India. The highest peak on the mountain is Guru Shikhar, at 1722 meters above sea level. It is verily 'an oasis in the desert'. It is a nice place to break the sandy monoto and the higher slopes of the Aravalli mountains, leaving but little for Merwara, where the hills are lower, and still less for Ajmer. It is only when the monsoon is in considerable force that Merwara gets a plentiful supply from it. The north-eastern monsoon sweeps up the valley of the Ganges from the Bay of Bengal and waters the northern part of Rajputana, but hardly penetrates farther west than the longitude of Ajmer.
On the varying strength of these two monsoons the rainfall of the district depends. The agriculturist in Ajmer-Merwara can never rely upon two good harvests in succession.
Among Hindus, the RajputA Rajput (possibly from Sanskrit rāja-putra "son of a king") is a member of a prominent caste who live throughout northern and central India, primarily in the northwestern state of Rajasthan.
