Detailed Solution

Western Rajasthan receives less than 60 cm rainfall. A region that receives 50 cm of rain or less annually is a low rainfall region. States receiving less rainfall are Gujarat, Rajasthan, Maharashtra, Karnataka, Gujarat, Haryana, Punjab, and Madhya Pradesh. India's "scarce rainfall regions" are those that get the least quantity of rain. Jaisalmer in Rajasthan receives less than 60 cm of precipitation. The Indian monsoon from the Bay of Bengal branch loses moisture when it reaches Rajasthan in northwestern India. So, Rajasthan receives less rainfall. The monsoon's Arabian Sea branch, which runs parallel to the Aravalli Mountains and moves to northern India, does not provide rain in Rajasthan.
