Talk about Desert in India and discuss the lifestyles of animals and how they survive in desert.

 The White Salt Desert of Kutch Whoever says brown is the dominant color of a desert hasn’t been to the large expanse of bright white salt that is the Great Rann of Kutch, in the state of Gujarat along the west coast of India. On any winter night, this white desert lights up with the reflection of the moon and the millions of stars that twinkle in its sky. There’s nothing but the white desert as far as you can see, nothing but you and the vastness of the desert. 

The Sandy Desert of Rajasthan You are perhaps already familiar with the golden desert of Rajasthan, where the magnanimity of the vast sandy expanses never fail to humble the soul, where everything from sunrise to sunset is a spectacle of colours, and where dark nights are lit by bonfires and stories of nomadic desert lives. Beyond the last major city of Jaisalmer, the desert stretches to the horizon and is littered with small settlements, sometimes with just half a dozen huts to a village, where life is akin to the monotones of the desert, sweltering hot in the day, freezing in the night, evidently difficult, and yet by some measure, heart-warmingly beautiful.
