Question
Why do Punjab and Rajasthan get very little rainfall during the monsoons?
Solution
The Bay of Bengal Branch of the south-west monsoons brings heavy rainfall to the north-eastern region of India. The Himalayas prevent them from leaving India and divert this O west, through the Ganga Plains. The amount of rainfall received steadily decreases in the northwest direction and wind becomes dry. As a result, Punjab and Rajasthan get very little rainfall during monsoons. Punjab is the last state to receive the monsoon rains
