The western part of India is mainly a desert region because it receives very less amount of rainfall. This is because by the time the monsoon winds reach this part of India they have already lost most of their moisture which results in an arid climate in this region.

Answer:
The western part of Rajasthan is a desert region because :
- The south-west monsoon winds blow parallel to the Aravalli and are thus not obstructed by them and therefore, the rainfall is low in Rajasthan.
- Secondly, the Aravallis are low residual hills and thus do no not obstruct the westerlies and therefore the rainfall is low.
