South – East Rajasthan Plateau (Hadoti Plateau)
This region locally called Pathar and Uparmal
It comprises of the eastern & South-eastern part of the state & is known as Hadoti.
Districts – Bhilwara, Bundi, Kota, Baran & Jhalawar districts
It contains about 9.6% of the area of whole Rajasthan
East of the plateau has a general slope toward
Gwalior & catchment of river Betwa
This plateau is further sub-divided into two units.
- Vindhyan Scarplands:
- Deccan Lava Plateau:
Vindhyan Scarplands
Height- 350-550 m
It presents an undulating topography strewn with boulders, blocks & depressions.
Districts – Sawai madhopur, Bundi, Kota
Vindhyan Scarps are formed by sandstone mark the topography in Chambal & Sindh Basins
Deccan Lava Plateau:
The western parts of the vindhyan plateau lie in the form of three concentric escarpments.
These three concentric escarpments are formed by the exposed rocks of three main sandstones.
The physiography of south east of Rajasthan. Is also known as uparmal
Districts – Bundi, Kota
Soil – Black
Certainly! Here’s a clear and structured description of both the Eastern Plain of Rajasthan and the South-Eastern Plateau of Rajasthan — two important physiographic regions of the state.
🟨 1. Eastern Plain of Rajasthan (Eastern Alluvial Plain)
📍 Location:
- Lies east of the Aravalli Range
- Covers districts like Bharatpur, Alwar, Dholpur, Karauli, Sawai Madhopur, Tonk, Jaipur (parts)
🏞️ Physical Features:
- Composed of alluvial soil deposited by rivers
- Flat to gently undulating terrain
- Well-drained and fertile land, ideal for agriculture
💧 Major Rivers:
- Chambal, Banas, Banganga, Gambhir, Morel
- Part of the Bay of Bengal drainage system
🌾 Soil Type:
- Alluvial soil, sandy loam
- Fertile and moisture-retaining
🌦️ Climate:
- Semi-arid to sub-humid
- Moderate rainfall (60–100 cm annually)
🌿 Agriculture:
- One of the most agriculturally productive regions in Rajasthan
- Crops: Wheat, barley, mustard, bajra, gram
🟫 2. South-Eastern Plateau (Hadoti Plateau)
📍 Location:
- Lies in the southeastern part of Rajasthan
- Includes districts like Kota, Bundi, Baran, and Jhalawar
- Also known as the Hadoti Plateau
🏞️ Physical Features:
- Extension of the Malwa Plateau
- Undulating terrain, with occasional flat-topped hills and valleys
- Rugged terrain due to erosion and river action
💧 Major Rivers:
- Chambal (major river)
- Kalisindh, Parvati, Mej

🌦️ Climate:
- Receives relatively higher rainfall (up to 100 cm or more)
- Comparatively humid
🌿 Agriculture:
- Very fertile land, suitable for cotton, soybean, maize, and pulses
