Question
Thar Desert gets very little rain.

Answer

Thar desert remain practically dry because there is no transverse mountain range to check the Monsoon which directly advances towards the Kashmir Himalaya. Of course, there is a mountain range in Rajasthan namely the Aravalli Hills but they stretch South-west to North-east direction. Thus, the Aravalli Hills are roughly parallel to the Arabian Sea Monsoon.
