Solution
The Aravalli range lies parallel to the direction of the rain-bearing Arabian Sea branch of southwest monsoon winds. The high temperature increases the ability of moisture-laden winds to hold moisture, thus preventing them from saturating. Thus, they cross without causing much rainfall over Rajasthan.
