Mavli is a town in Udaipur district of Rajasthan.

The village has a famous bawri (step well) known as Bai Raj Ki Bawri. Recently, gauge conversion took place and it is now connected with Broad gauge on Udaipur- Chittaurgarh Section of North Western Railway. However, the gange conversion between Mavli- Marwar Jn and Mavli- Bari sadri remain a far cry. Some new trains introduced on the BG Section and the village is connected to Sealdah (Kolkata), Gwalior (MP), Bandra (Mumbai), Jaipur, Kota, Delhi and Indore. Recently SH-09, which is passing through the town has been converted into a four lane road. This has caused a major problem to the town. Entire SH-09 between Dabok and Chittaurgarh carved new byepasses and not passed through populated villages. However, Mavli has to face this fourlane road passing through mid of the town. The nearest airport Maharana Pratap Air port DABOK (Udaipur) is 28 km. The town is famous for its Sweet Rabdi.

The town is a Tehsil Headquarter, having Panchayat Samiti and also sub division office under Udaipur district. It is also a Vidhan Sabha (State Legislative Assemply) seat. The popular leaders like Achraya Niranjan Nath, Mr Hanuman Prasad Prabhakar and Mr. Shanti Lal Chaplot were elected from this seat.

As per the history of Mewar Maharana Udaisingh won his battle against Banbir is the Chaprada (free land for cattle fodder)of Mavli and saved the Sisodia clan. He later founded the city of Udaipur. Over the years rain fall has declined and drinking water is a big problem. Two ponds near the village namely Naya Talab (Hemsagar) and Nathela hardly get rain water. The another big pond meant for irrigation namely BAGOLIA also remains dry, it was last over flown in 1973.

Mavli Junction ( IR Station code MVJ) is an important railway junction station under Ajmer division of North Western Railway zone of Indian Railways.

It connects Marwar Junction on north-west direction, Chittaurgarh junction on North-West direction, Bari Sadri on south-east direction and Udaipur city on West direction.
