Answer: True
Explanation: Orographic means that it is related to mountains. By the time the winds make it over the Western Ghats they have lost most of their moisture and very little falls on the Deccan Plateau to the east of the Ghats. This reduced rainfall on the leeward side (away from the wind) of mountains is called a RAIN SHADOW EFFECT.

TRUE

The rain falls when it hits the mountains of the western ghats, which result in the leeward side getting little or no rain, and the wind ward side receives most of the rain.
