The Jojari River is a 83 km (52 mi) seasonal watercourse in Rajasthan, India. It primarily carries surplus rainwater from the hills near Poondloo village in Nagaur district.[1] Flowing in a north-east to south-west direction, it gathers water from multiple smaller streams along its path, ultimately converging with the Luni River near Khejalda Khurd in Jodhpur district.[2] This river is a tributary of Luni river. The Jojari basin is located between latitudes 26 07 and 26 43 and longitudes 73 08 and 74 00.[3][4]
