Question

What is 'Palar Pani'? what is its significance in the arid regions of Rajasthan?

Answer 1

In arid and semi-arid regions of Rajasthan, like Bikaner, Barmer and Phalodi, rainwater which is considered as the purest form of natural water is known as Palar Pani. In these regions, this form of water is considered precious and is stored in underground tanks or tankas. This is conserved to be used for drinking when all other water sources have dried up especially in summer.
