Much of the Thar Desert consists of flat sandy plains and dune landscapes, some of which are covered with thorny shrubs. In areas without vegetation, such as the famous Sam Sand Dunes near Jaisalmer, one can find striking, untouched ripple structures like the one in the photo. The sand ripples and shifting dunes in the Thar Desert change primarily during the hot summer months due to the strong southwest monsoon winds. The winter winds play a rather minor role. – 1990
