RAS question
Chuliya Falls is on which river?
Correct answer: (C) Chambal.
Chuliya Falls is on the Chambal River near Rawatbhata in Chittorgarh district, Rajasthan.
Explanation
Chuliya Falls belongs to the Chambal River system, not to the western, southern, or Banas river settings. It is near Rawatbhata in Chittorgarh district and is among Rajasthan's few waterfalls. PubMed Central (PMC) supports the river link by describing the Chambal River's middle reaches as having waterfalls known as Chulia, along with rapids, large boulders, potholes and step-pool sections. Chuliya is not just a named scenic spot, but part of the river landform pattern associated with the Chambal.
Why the other options are wrong
- (A) Mahi is associated with southern Rajasthan, whereas Chuliya Falls is on the Chambal River near Rawatbhata.
- (B) Luni is a western Rajasthan river, while PubMed Central (PMC) links Chulia waterfalls to the middle reaches of the Chambal.
- (D) Banas is not the river of this waterfall; Chuliya Falls is on the Chambal, and Banas has no major falls.
Concept
RAS physical geography includes river systems and associated landforms. Location-based river facts connect map knowledge with distinctive Rajasthan features such as waterfalls, rapids and river valleys.
