2. The Luni stream in Rajasthan originates near Sambhar lake and after joining the tributaries, it flows for 100 kilometers towards the south. And after taking a southwest direction, it disappears in the saline and marshy areas of Rann of Kachchh.Due to intense evaporation the rivers got dried on their way.
