Bhu-Naksha Rajasthan: View Land Map Online (2026)
How to view the cadastral map of a Rajasthan village or plot through the state land records system, what the map shows, and how to use it with your Jamabandi.
Bhu-Naksha (เคญเฅ-เคจเคเฅเคถเคพ) is the cadastral map of a village: a drawing of every Khasra (เคเคธเคฐเคพ) plot boundary. In Rajasthan, map access is linked to the state land records system, Apna Khata, and it is best read together with the Jamabandi for the same plot.
What is Bhu-Naksha?
A cadastral map shows how a village is divided into numbered plots. Each plot carries a Khasra number that matches the number in the Jamabandi (เคเคฎเคพเคฌเคเคฆเฅ), the record of rights. Together the map and the record tell you where a plot is and who is recorded as holding it. For the national concept, see our Bhu-Naksha cadastral map guide.
In Rajasthan, village maps are drawn by the revenue department and are the base for field measurement and boundary questions.
Why a buyer should check the map
A Jamabandi gives an area but not a shape. A map lets you check four things before paying a token amount:
- Whether the plot touches a road or a rasta (path), or is landlocked.
- Whether the shape and neighbouring Khasra numbers match what the seller describes.
- Whether the plot has been merged or divided since the map was drawn.
- Whether the area on the map is roughly consistent with the area in the record.
A mismatch does not prove a problem, but it is a reason to ask for a field check. See our land demarcation guide.
How to view the map online
Rajasthan land records are served through apnakhata.raj.nic.in, described in our Apna Khata overview. The usual route to a map is:
- Open the portal and look for the map or Naksha option on the home page or services menu.
- Select the district, tehsil and village (and halka or patwar circle, if asked).
- Choose or enter the Khasra number, then open the map view.
- Zoom to the plot and compare its neighbours with your documents.
We could not confirm the exact menu wording, whether the map is a viewer only or also gives a certified print, or whether every district is covered. Check the live portal and treat these steps as a guide to what to look for.
Screenshot, then verify on site
Save a dated screenshot of the map and the Khasra number before you visit. It gives you something concrete to compare with the ground and with what the seller says.
Reading the map with your Jamabandi
| Check | Where to look | What a mismatch may mean |
|---|---|---|
| Khasra number | Map label and Jamabandi row | Wrong plot, or renumbering after a division |
| Area | Jamabandi area against map extent | Encroachment, old survey, or rounding |
| Access | Roads and paths on the map | No legal access to the plot |
| Neighbours | Adjacent Khasra numbers | Seller describing a different parcel |
Areas in Rajasthan are often quoted in bigha and biswa, which vary by region. Read our Bigha and Biswa guide for Rajasthan before comparing figures.
Limits of the online map
An online map is a revenue record, not a surveyor's report. Boundaries may rest on old surveys, some villages may not be digitised, and the image on screen is not a boundary certificate. For a binding boundary, request a measurement by the revenue department or a licensed surveyor.
Agricultural use rules also apply to the plot, whatever the map shows. See agricultural land rules in Rajasthan.
Pre-purchase map checklist
- Get the Khasra number from the seller's Jamabandi copy. See Jamabandi Nakal Rajasthan.
- View the village map and locate that Khasra.
- Note road access and neighbouring plots.
- Compare against a site visit, with the seller or patwari present.
- Ask for a boundary measurement if anything differs.
This sits alongside, not instead of, checking the Jamabandi, mutation and any loan or court encumbrance.
