Abstract In this paper, we have carried out rock discrimination studies in parts of Aravalli Mountain Ranges in Rajasthan State, India using LANDSAT TM data. Out of the various methods employed in the study, the band ratioing technique provided the best discrimination of the rock types. However, comparison of the geological map prepared from the ratio images and the map available showed misclassification of the granitic and phyllitic terrain on the ratio composites. This misclassification will be discussed on the basis of the XRD studies of the samples obtained from the area.
