Ganeshwar, a major copper-age site, is located in which district of Rajasthan?

Explanation

Ganeshwar falls in Sikar district, near the village of Ganeshwar on the Kantli river and within the Khetri copper belt. The Rajasthan Tourism page for Shekhawati lists Ganeshwar as an attraction and describes it as being 15 km from Neemkathana in the Aravali range. It also identifies the place with remains of Copper Age civilisation, noting that Rajasthan Government archaeology and museum exploration during 1979-88 found many copper materials and clay vessels there. Standard RAS preparation treats Ganeshwar as an early copper-age site dated roughly 2800-2200 BCE.

Why the other options are wrong

• (A) Alwar is a separate district, while Ganeshwar falls in Sikar district.
• (B) Jaipur is not the district of the site; Ganeshwar falls in Sikar district, with Jaipur lying further south.
• (D) Jhunjhunu is close enough to cause confusion because Ganeshwar is near the Sikar-Jhunjhunu belt, but the site falls in Sikar district.

Concept

RAS tests Rajasthan's protohistoric archaeology, especially Copper Age sites and their district locations. Ganeshwar recurs in RAS because it links Rajasthan's regional geography with early copper-use evidence from the Khetri belt.
