Article History

Banas River, river in Rajasthan state, northwestern India. It rises near Kumbhalgarh and cuts its way tortuously through the Aravalli Range. It then flows in a northeasterly course onto the plains and joins the Chambal River, just north of Sheopur, after a course of 310 miles (500 km). The Banas is a seasonal river that is often dry in the hot months, but it is still a source of irrigation. Its main tributaries are the Berach and Kotari rivers.
