Hero-stones (a.k.a. Mahasati stones or Veeragals) are carved stones erected in the honor of a brave man or woman who perished while defending the interests of the village (such as while fighting bandits who attempted to steal cattle, or invaders who abused women). on hero stones see : http://www.indianetzone.com/22/hero_stones_sacred_relics_brave_warriors_india.htm

ancient Hero Stones erected in memory of Rajput Kshatriya (a Hindu warrior caste) who have fallen in battle. These Hero Stones are common all over Rajputhana and are found in other parts of India too, especially in the south where some have been dated back to 300 BC. Hero-stones (a.k.a. Mahasati stones or Veeragals) are carved stones erected in the honor of a brave man or woman who perished while defending the interests of the village (such as while fighting bandits who attempted to steal cattle, or invaders who abused women). on hero stones see : http://www.indianetzone.com/22/hero_stones_sacred_relics_brave_warriors_india.htm The Thar Desert (Rajasthani: थार मरुधर) (also known as the Great Indian Desert), is a large, arid region in the northwestern part of the Indian subcontinent. With an area of more than 200,000 km2 (77,000 sq mi), it is the world's 9th largest subtropical desert. It lies mostly in the Indian state of Rajasthan, and extends into the southern portion of Haryana and Punjab states and into northern Gujarat state. In Pakistan, the desert covers eastern Sindh province and the southeastern portion of Pakistan's Punjab province. The Cholistan Desert adjoins the Thar desert spreading into Pakistani Punjab province. More on Thar Desert see link : http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thar_Desert
