Rajasthan Plain

• The Rajasthan Plain is situated to the west of the Aravali Mountain range.

• The Rajasthan Plain, which includes the Thar Desert, marks the westernmost end of the North Indian Plain.

• Two-thirds of the Thar Desert is situated in Rajasthan, while the remaining portion extends into the neighbouring states of Haryana, Punjab, and Gujarat.

• The Thar Desert is further divided into two significant regions: the actual desert area called Marusthali (the desert proper) and the semi-arid plain (semi desert region) known as Rajasthan Bagar.
