No, Rajasthan is not a province. Rajasthan is a state in the western part of India. It is the largest state in terms of area and is located on the northwestern side of the country.  Rajasthan is bordered by Pakistan to the northwest and shares its other borders with the Indian states of Punjab, Haryana, Uttar Pradesh, Madhya Pradesh, Gujarat, and the union territories of Delhi and Haryana. India is divided into states and union territories for administrative purposes. States have their own elected governments, headed by a Chief Minister, and have more autonomy and legislative power compared to union territories, which are directly governed by the central government of India. Rajasthan became a state on 30th March 1949, when it was formed by merging several princely states and regions. Since then, it has been an integral part of the federal system of India, with its own state government and administrative structure.
