Ahar civilization site is near:

Explanation

Ahar, also known as Tambavati or Dhulkot, is linked with Udaipur, not with the other cities in the options. The Rajasthan Foundation, Udaipur District PDF places the history of Udaipur in the context of the Ahar civilisation and says it flourished in the vicinity of the Berach River. Ahar is identified as a prominent site of the chalco-lithic Ahar-Banas culture, which lasted from 3000 BCE to 1500 BCE. That location and cultural context make Udaipur the only option that fits the question.

Why the other options are wrong

• (A) Jodhpur is not supported because the Ahar civilisation is placed in the Udaipur context.
• (B) Jaipur does not fit because Ahar is connected with Udaipur and the Berach River area.
• (D) Kota is wrong because Ahar is a prominent site in the Ahar-Banas culture associated here with Udaipur, not Kota.

Concept

This tests the mapping of Rajasthan's chalcolithic sites to their correct locations. Such site-location questions recur in RAS because Rajasthan History, Art and Culture often checks whether aspirants can connect archaeological cultures with specific districts or cities.
