Answer

Jaisalmer in Rajasthan receives very low rainfall from southwest monsoon because the southwest monsoon winds run parallel to the Aravalis. They do not give rainfall in Rajasthan as they do not get any obstruction from the Aravalis. Also, the high temperature in the desert increases their capacity to hold moisture.
