Derasar, Rajasthan
Place in Rajasthan, India / From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Derasar is a village in the Barmer district of Rajasthan, near the border of India and Pakistan.[2] Derasar lies within the Thar Desert, which influences the lives of the residents; taankas are used to collect water and husbands have two wives, one of whom devotes herself to collecting water from a nearby water source five kilometres away from the village.[3] The culture of Derasar reflects that of the region of Rajputana within the Indian subcontinent, such as the wearing of the angarkha.[4]
