Solution

Part of India that experiences the highest diurnal range of temperature is Thar Desert. This is present towards western side of India in the state of Rajasthan. This is because it is filled with sand which gets heated up quickly during day and cooled up very quickly during nights. There is no sea closer to this area and hence there is no moderating effect.
