ndia Desert Travel presents to you an interesting mythological story about the formation of the desert in India. It is strongly believed by the people here that this particular land was once under the sea and was home to numerous marine lives. Lord Ram, in order to reach Lanka with his army to rescue his wife Sita from the captivity of King Ravana who had abducted her by cheating, tried to dry the sea. However, as he was about to shoot his arrow, Sea God himself came out in a human form and prayed to him to have pity on life in sea. Lord Ram listened to his request. But nothing else could be done, as the arrow was out of the quiver and on the bow, he shot the arrow to a far-away sea. As a result, the sea dried up instantly and this dried sea is believed to be the Thar Desert. The archaeological excavations in the region have corroborated the belief of the people that there was indeed sea life some thousand years ago.
