Last Updated:
This question examines an important river-or-lake fact: “Which river is called the 'Pital Nadi' (Brass River) in Rajasthan?” The correct answer is Banas. The Banas River is sometimes called 'Pital Nadi' but more commonly known as the river that flows entirely within Rajasthan. The Banas originates from the Khamnor Hills of the Aravalli Range and joins the Chambal River in Rajasthan. It is the longest river that flows entirely within Rajasthan. A river system includes its source, tributaries, distributaries, drainage basin, watershed, channel, floodplain, delta or estuary and final outlet. River behaviour depends on relief, geology, rainfall, snowmelt, sediment load, vegetation and human intervention.
