صحراء تهر، وتـُعرف أيضاً بإسم الصحراء الهندية الكبرى هي منطقة قاحلة كبيرة في الجزء الشمالي الغربي من شبه القارة الهندية، والتي تشكل حداً طبيعياً بين الهند وپاكستان. وهي الصحراء رقم 17 بين أكبر صحاري العالم، وتاسع أكبر صحراء تحت مدارية.[3] About 85% of the Thar Desert is in India, and the remaining 15% is in Pakistan.[4] In India, it covers about 320,000 km2 (120,000 sq mi), forming approximately 10% of the total geographic area of India. More than 60% of the desert lies in the state of Rajasthan alone and extends into Gujarat, Punjab, and Haryana.[5]

This desert comprises a very dry part, the Marusthali region in the west, and a semidesert region in the east with fewer sand dunes and slightly more precipitation.[6]

الجغرافيا

View of the Thar desert

The Thar Desert extends between the Aravalli Hills in the north-east,[4] the Great Rann of Kutch along the coast and the alluvial plains of the Indus River in the west and north-west. Most of the desert is covered by huge shifting sand dunes that receive sediments from the alluvial plains and the coast. The sand is highly mobile due to strong winds occurring before the onset of the monsoon. The Luni River is the only river integrated into the desert.[7] Rainfall is limited to 100–500 mm (3.9–19.7 in) per year, mostly falling from July to September.[4]

Course of Sarasvati river through Thar desert

The Indian epics describe this region as Lavanasagara (salt ocean). The Ramayana mentions Lavanasagara when Rama goes to attack Lanka with the army of vanaras. Rama uses his agneyashtra-amogha to dry up the sea named drumakulya situated north of Lavanasagara. A fresh water source named Pushkar surrounded by Marukantara was created.[10]

According to Jain cosmology, Jambūdvīpa is at the centre of Madhyaloka, or the middle part of the universe, where the humans reside. Jambūdvīpaprajñapti or the treatise on the island of roseapple tree contains a description of Jambūdvīpa and life biographies of Ṛṣabha and King Bharata. Jambūdvīpa continent is surrounded by the ocean Lavanoda (salt ocean).

The Sarasvati River is one of the chief Rigvedic rivers mentioned in ancient Hindu texts. The Nadistuti hymn in the Rigveda mentions the Sarasvati between the Yamuna in the east and the Sutlej in the west, and later Vedic texts like Tandya and Jaiminiya Brahmanas as well as the Mahabharata mention that the Sarasvati dried up in a desert.

There are a number of salt water lakes in Thar desert. These are Sambhar, Pachpadra, Tal Chhapar, Falaudi and Lunkaransar where Sodium chloride salt is produced from salt water. The Didwana lake produces Sodium Sulphate salt. Ancient Archaeological evidences of habitations have been recovered from Sambhar and Didwana lakes which shows their antiquity and historical importance.[10]

A Muslim resident of Thar shared his account by saying: "In our village, Hindus and Muslims have been living together for decades and there has not been a single day, when I have seen a religious conflict. No loud speaker is used for Azaan at the time when Hindus are worshiping in their temple, and no bells are rung when it is time for namaz. Nobody eats in public when it is Ramazan and Holi is played by every member of the village." I had always heard stories about interfaith harmony from Sindh but it was so much more amazing to see it firsthand. The love and brotherhood that exists between the Hindus and Muslims of Mithi is a perfect example of pluralism and the tolerant Sufi culture of Sindh.
