'''Ajmer District''' is a district of the [[States and territories of India|state]] of [[Rajasthan]] in western India. The city of [[Ajmer]] is the district headquarters.

Ajmer District has an area of 8,481 km², and a population of 2,583,052 (2011 census). Three main religions are; Hindu 1,869,044, Muslim 244,341, Jains 47,812. The district is situated in the center of Rajasthan, and is bounded by [[Nagaur District]] to the north, [[Jaipur District|Jaipur]] and [[Tonk District|Tonk]] districts to the east, [[Bhilwara District]] to the south, and [[Pali District]] to the west.

== Ajmer geography ==
The eastern portion of the district is generally flat, broken only by gentle undulations. The western parts, from north-west to south-west, are intersected by the [[Aravalli Range]]. Many of the valleys in this region are sandy deserts, part of India's [[Thar Desert]], with an occasional oasis of cultivation. Some fertile tracts are also present; among these is the plain on which lies the town of Ajmer. This valley has an artificial lake, and is protected by the massive walls of the Nagpathar range or Serpent rock, which forms a barrier against the sand. The only hills in the district are the [[Aravalli Range]] and its offshoots. Ajmer is almost totally devoid of rivers. The [[Banas River]] touches the south-eastern boundary of the district so as to irrigate the pargana of Samur. Four small streams—the Sagarmati, Saraswati, Khari and Dai—also intersect the district.

The district is divided into four subdivisions, Ajmer, [[Beawar]], [[Kekri, Rajasthan|Kekri]] and [[Kishangarh]], and further subdivided into nine [[tehsil]]s, Ajmer, Beawar, Bhinai, Sarwar, Pisangan, Tantoti, [[Nasirabad, Ajmer|Nasirabad]], [[Masuda]], Kekri, Kishangarh.
