explain the stream formation of the indian desert
Answers
Answer:
Thousands of years ago, the Saravasti river would course through the Thar Desert on its way to the Indian Ocean. However, some studies suggest that the increasing dry climatic conditions of the Thar choked up the river. Now, this one is going to be a long one. Well, according to the legend mentioned in Ramayana, Lord Rama, during his exile to the forest, created the Thar Desert. In his search for his spouse Sita, Rama had to cross the ocean from today’s Rameshwaram to reach Lanka (Sri Lanka). He prayed to the ocean deity for a couple of days so that the ocean water could subside and pave a way for Rama and his army to march on towards Lanka.
