RAS question

Which river of Rajasthan is called 'Kamdhenu'?

Correct answer: (B) Chambal.

The Chambal river is called the Kamdhenu river of Rajasthan because of its perennial flow and importance to agriculture.

  1. (A)

    Luni

  2. (B)

    Chambal

  3. (C)

    Banas

  4. (D)

    Ghaggar

Explanation

Chambal is called the Kamdhenu river of Rajasthan. In Rajasthan geography, Chambal is associated with perennial flow and agricultural importance, which explains why the honorific Kamdhenu is attached to it. Chambal is also part of the wider river system: it is a tributary of the Yamuna and forms the boundary between Rajasthan and Madhya Pradesh before turning south-east towards the Yamuna. In RAS geography, the Chambal nickname connects with the river's reliable water and agricultural value in Rajasthan.

Why the other options are wrong

  • (A) Luni is associated with the salt river label, while the Kamdhenu label belongs to Chambal.
  • (C) Banas is linked with Van ki Asha, not the Kamdhenu title.
  • (D) Ghaggar is a different river, and it is not connected with the Kamdhenu title.

Concept

Rajasthan drainage-system nicknames connect river characteristics with conventional exam labels. Such questions recur in RAS because rivers, aliases and agricultural significance are compact facts often used in one-mark geography MCQs.
