Sarada (also spelt Sarara) is a tehsil of Salumbar district in Rajasthan, India. It consists of 152 villages[1] and 3 towns (Bhalariya, Newa Talai, and Chawand). The tehsil headquarter is located in the village of Sarada.[2]
Before the formation of the Republic of India, the territory of present-day Sarada tehsil was part of the former Udaipur State.[3] With the formation of the United State of Rajasthan (precursor to the state of Rajasthan) in 1948, the new district of Udaipur was constituted which included the area of present-day Sarada tehsil. In 2013, Sarada tehsil was sub-divided into two parts, with Semari tehsil being established as an independent tehsil, containing areas formerly under Sarada.[4] [5]
The area of the tehsil is 776 square kilometres. The annual average rainfall in Sarada tehsil is 537 mm, with an average of 27 rainy days per year.[6]
