'''Dholpur District''' is a district of [[Rajasthan]] [[States and territories of India|state]] in Northern [[India]]. The town of [[Dholpur]] is the district headquarters. [[Dholpur]] District is a part of [[Bharatpur division|Bharatpur]] Divisional Commissionerate.

Dholpur District has an area of 3084 km². The [[Chambal River]] forms the southern boundary of the district, across which lies the state of [[Madhya Pradesh]]. The district is bounded by the state of [[Uttar Pradesh]] on the east and northeast, by [[Bharatpur District]] of Rajasthan on the northwest, and [[Karauli District]] of Rajasthan on the west. All along the bank of the [[Chambal River]] the district is deeply intersected by ravines; low ranges of hills in the western portion of the district supply quarries of fine-grained and easily worked red [[sandstone]].

Administratively the district is divided into four subdivisions, Dholpur, [[Bari, India|Bari]], [[Rajakhera]], and [[Baseri, Dholpur|Baseri]], and six [[tehsil]]s, Dholpur, Bari, Rajakhera, Basedi, [[Sarmathura]] and Saipau.

The economy of the district is primarily agricultural.
The regional language of Dholpur is "Braj Bhasha," which has fragrances of Bundelkhandi and Khadi bhasha. It is because Dholpur is situated at the center surrounded by three states of Braj kshetra, are Rajasthan, Uttar Pradesh, and Madhya Pradesh.

It is famous for Chambal Bharka (Sand made Mountains)
