The surrounding area consists chiefly of semiarid land, a part of the great Thar Desert, and some cropped areas irrigated by the Mithrao Canal system, which feeds from the Indus River. It is located in an agricultural area where rice, wheat, and cotton are mainly grown, but it is also home to several cotton-textile factories and is a local market town.
