During the three months of the south west monsoon from last week of June to September, moist oceanic air penetrates the village and causes high humidity, cloudiness and monsoon rainfall.

The period from October to December constitutes post monsoon season. The cold weather season prevails from January to the beginning of March and is followed by the hot weather or summer season which prevails up to the last week of June.

Geologically, the area is almost plain and is on the tail of the Aravalli range, the oldest fold mountains in India. The plain area is largely covered with alluvial sand with good fertility for crops. Seismically the area falls in zone-3 creating low damage risk from earthquakes.

The village is primarily residential and has 10000-12000 residents.
