Rahuwas is a village and newly formed tehsil in the Dausa district of the Indian state of Rajasthan. Initially part of Lalsot Tehsil, it was granted the status of a full tehsil in 2023, reflecting its administrative importance in the region.[2][3][4][5]
Geography
Rahuwas is located in eastern Rajasthan and lies approximately 23.8 km (via NH 148) southeast of the district headquarters, Dausa. It is situated in a semi-arid region and experiences extreme temperatures in summer and mild winters.[6]
Administrative status
Rahuwas was earlier under Lalsot Tehsil but was later designated as a sub-tehsil, and subsequently upgraded to a tehsil following administrative restructuring. This change was formalized in 2023-24 and accompanied by the announcement of a ₹3 crore tehsil building foundation stone by state authorities.[7][8]

According to the 2011 Census of India, Rahuwas village has a population of 1,952, comprising 1,008 males and 944 females. The overall literacy rate is 69.89%, with male literacy at 86.61% and female literacy at 51.85%.[9]
Infrastructure and development
With its elevation to tehsil status, Rahuwas has seen increased attention toward administrative and civic development. A new tehsil office building is under construction, and a Sub-Divisional Magistrate (SDM) office has been proposed as part of the Rajasthan state budget 2024.[8][7]
Historically, Rahuwas was known for the production of traditional quilts (rajaiyan), a local craft that once supported small-scale traders. However, due to limited local economic opportunities, many artisans and traders migrated to nearby urban centers such as Dausa and Jaipur.[2][10]
