The
Desert Triangle (RTT10)
|
It was this arid desert, centuries ago,
that man journeyed. Burning sand in the summer, larger tracts
of dune- decked plains, with scarce water and vegetation, create
a habitation with the mind's eye, if you can then come to Rajasthan
to match your reality when it takes over.
