Description

Camel Herder Desert India Rajasthan.
A camel herder enjoys some alone time as he and his camel walk off into the sunset in the desert. Actually he is walking towards an oasis. Or could it be just a mirage, with the illusion of water? Guess we�ll never know :o) . It was, in any case, quite a magical sight to behold!
The Thar Desert, also known as the Great Indian Desert or Marusthali (Land of the dead), is a large, arid region in the northwestern part of the Indian subcontinent that forms a natural boundary between India and Pakistan. With an area of more than 200,000 km2 (77,000 sq mi), it is the world's 9th largest subtropical desert.
The Thar desert is bounded by the Sutlej River to the north, the Aravalli Range to the east, salt marsh to the south, and the Indus River to the west. It lies mostly in the Indian state of Rajasthan and extends into the southern portion of Haryana and into northern Gujarat. The Desert National Park, Jaisalmer has a collection of fossils of animals and plants of 180 million years old.
From Indian Mythology : The Indian epics describe this region as Lavanasagara (Salt-ocean). The Ramayana mentions Lavanasagara (the Salt-ocean) when Rama goes to attack Lanka with the army of vanaras. Rama uses his agneyashtra-amogha to dry up the sea named drumakulya situated on north of Lavanasagara. A fresh water source named Pushkar surrounded by Marukantara was created.
