Things to Remember |
Deserts are dry places where it hardly ever rains. They can be very hot during the day and quite cold at night. Because there's so little water, not many plants can grow there, and the ground is often sandy or rocky.
Desert
India has a desert called the Thar Desert, which is in the northwest part of the country, mainly in Rajasthan.
Thar Desert- India
The desert stays hot and dry all the time. In summer, it gets really hot during the day, but the nights are cooler. In winter, the days are warm, but the nights become very cold.
In the desert, finding water is not easy because there isn't much of it. However, in some places, there's a bit of water.
This water mostly comes from the small amount of rain that gathers in streams and ponds. Additionally, there's water underground that comes up, forming a little pool called an oasis.
Oases
Jaipur, being the capital, is famously known as the Pink City due to its distinctive pink-colored buildings. This unique architectural style was established by Raja Jai Singh, adding to the city's charm and making it a notable destination for visitors.
