The desert tells a story of men living in perfect harmony with a hostile nature.
These simple people have evolved a culture which is simple, refreshing and at ease
with their surroundings. The manner in which Thar Desert people have survived with
dignity on natural resources without
any outside aid, serves as
a contrast to many a materialistic modern society.
The Thar Desert located in the western India, is a fast emerging tourist attraction.
Many may not consider largely untouched desert landscapes with thin and scattered
vegetation as ideal for tourists.
Its inhabitants, however, make this place different.Unlike the Sahara and Kalahari Deserts, Thar Desert teems with life, with color
and with contrast. This unique desert cannot be explained. Only by coming and seeing
for oneself
can the stranger absorb its rare beauty.

It boasts a people,fiercely proud of their cultural heritage and traditions;they
have their own pace of life, their own philosophy. The human population is scattered
over endless miles. Here and there one can see small
villages and beside them clusters
of houses called DHANIS. Occasionally the village has a single Dhani(small hut)
located miles away.An agricultural society itcontinually struggles for its crops
and cattle against difficult weather conditions, and for water, and for their very
survival.
Their houses have become things of beauty. Dhanis (small huts) are very well planned
for summer, winter and monsoon seasons as well. Natives use neither cement nor bricks.The
walls, instead, are built of wood and mud, the roofs of thatch. Interior and
exterior have thoughtful and elaborate features. The women of the families try their
best to decorate them with a skill that cannot be matched elsewhere. In ever season of the year their
housesn always appear neat and clean.
