Khadir Island Standing Stone
Khadir Island Standing Stone submitted by motist : Kahdir island, on the Great Rann of Kutch, Bachu taluka, Gujarat. The Great Rann , 15000 sq Km on the border with Pakistan, is flooded in the monsoon season when the Arabian sea floods in to the Rann. The sea water with the monsoon rain form a shallow lake, the high areas become an island. In the dry season the Rann becomes a salt plains. (Vote or comment on this photo)
Standing Stones in Kutch, Gujarat, India

The Khadir island is in the great Rann of the kutch Salt Plains. In the monsoon season, when sea water from the Arabian sea floods the Rann, the land above sea level becomes an island. Khadir is the biggest island in the Great Rann of Kutch with few villages and farms. Khadir is situated in the important Hindus Valley Civilisation site Dholavira. I visited the island in April 2005 (dry season) and found there ancient Menhirs all over the island especially on the hills east of Dholavira. In Dholavira, I Met Dr. Nurial the chief of the excavations teem. He took me around the site but I was not aloud to take photos, so I was satisfied with taking few photos of the site from outside and took photos in the rest of the Island. On Dholavira and Khadir see: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dholavira on the great rann of kutch: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Great_Rann_of_Kutch http://www.google.co.il/images?rls=com.microsoft:en-us:IE-SearchBox&oe=&redir_esc=&q=rann+of+kutch&um=1&ie=UTF-8&source=univ&ei=pC1RTI78Ns6VOL2V7JYI&sa=X&oi=image_result_group&ct=title&resnum=4&ved=0CCsQsAQwAw
