One thing has been cleared that central place is not fully applicable in the study area.Though at India level it is applicable in terms of seven administrative hierarchy of settlement. However, in case of Kishangarh, it rarely follows this pattern. Higher and lower order settlements are there, but the spacing between them is contradictory. Kishangarh is first order settlements in the study area and Tibba falls in the Second order hierarchy while, Dadwindi, Nasirpur, Dalla, Depewal, Jabbowal, Shahwala idresa, Kabirpur, Suja kalia, Saidjour, Kalubhatia are in the third order of the central place hierarchy and all others are in Fouth & Fifth order of the hierarchy of central places. The analysis shows that the central places forming are not equally distributed in the study area. The first order settlements are very close to each other & are located in the central part of the area while in other areas there is no presence of first order. However, the basic assumptions of Christaller like homogeneous place or isotropic plain is absent there due to rugged topography and consumer don’t have the same income, and they are not rational.
