The State of Rajasthan
The state of Rajasthan is in the North-west of India, and running through it from North East to south-west is a rich of very old rocks, which forms the Aravalli Range. To the North-west of this range the area is very dry and it falls gradually towards the Indian Valley. This very large area between the Aravalli Range and the plain forms the Thar Desert.
Its annual rainfall is very low, usually less than 250 mm. Moreover, it is very irregular and falls mainly during sudden storms. Although this figure is higher in the Indus Valley, there are no large rivers which can be used for irrigation. Because of this, it remains a sandy wasteland, with bare hills and waterless valleys. The ground is open completely bare of vegetation, though in some places a few bushes or plants can be seen.
The desert has only a very few inhabitants. Sometimes, a village is started where for a time there is a little water and some millet can be grown. But when the water runs out, the villagers have to leave and move somewhere else.
Some people own camels, which they use to carry on trading in the region, but travelling across the desert has always been made difficult due to the lack of water. In spite of this, there are some towns : Jaisalmer is an important Centre for such trading routes, and Bikaner is famous for the goods which are made from camel hair and cotton.
