उत्तर
Thar desert remain practically dry because there is no transverse mountain range to check the Monsoon which directly advances towards the Kashmir Himalaya. Of course, there is a mountain range in Rajasthan namely the Aravalli Hills but they stretch South-west to North-east direction. Thus, the Aravalli Hills are roughly parallel to the Arabian Sea Monsoon.
