Pali (पाली) is a district in Rajasthan, India, with its administrative headquarters in Pali city. It lies in the western part of the state, between the Aravalli hills and the drier plains of the Marwar region. The district is known for textile processing, agriculture and important religious heritage sites.
Marwari language and traditions shape local life, alongside Hindi and the cultures of diverse rural and urban communities. Farming, livestock rearing, textile dyeing and printing, trade and small industries support livelihoods. Notable landmarks include the intricately carved Jain temples at Ranakpur and the Jawai Dam area, known for its rocky landscape and wildlife.
Residents commonly care about reliable drinking water, irrigation, groundwater conservation and pollution associated with textile processing. Other civic priorities include road maintenance, sanitation, healthcare, school facilities and employment. Balancing industrial growth with environmental protection, and tourism with the needs of nearby villages, remains important to the district’s development.
