A small village in the Aravalli Hills about 44 km. north of Udaipur and about 1,839 m. above sea level. Beyond this is Haldighati Pass, a narrow defile almost a kilometre in length, running south to northeast. It ends in a plain where the famous Battle of Haldighati (1576) actually took place between Maharana Pratap Singh I and the Mughal armies of Emperor Akbar. A geographical feature of the pass ('ghati') is its soft yellow soil. When crumbled it resembles the spice, turmeric ('haldi'), which gives the place its name.
