Desert Life
In sandy desert regions like Jaisalmer, water is scarce, so houses have thick walls and small windows to keep cool, and people wear bright, loose cotton clothes to protect themselves from the heat.
Adaptation to Climate
People change their lifestyle based on the weather; for example, heavy woolen clothes are worn in cold hilly areas, while lightweight cotton garments are common in hot Rajasthan.
Traditional Houses
Different lands have different houses, such as mud houses with thatched roofs in villages to beat the heat, and flat-roofed stone houses in arid parts of Rajasthan.
Water Sources and Farming
Farming and daily routines depend heavily on water availability; while people in plains grow crops easily with rivers, people in deserts rely on traditional ponds, wells, and rainwater harvesting.
