Detailed explanation-1: -This is because South west monsoon arising from Bay of Bengal flows parallel to the Aravalli Mountains and reach north east part of India.
Detailed explanation-2: -Regarding its general direction the Southwest winds blow from the southwest to the land after crossing the equator and enters the Bay of Bengal and Arabian Sea and follow the southwesterly direction.
Detailed explanation-3: -The Western part of Rajasthan is a desert because the temperature remains very high in summer and the Aravallis lie parallel to the path of the Arabian Sea branch of the southwest monsoons, thereby causing no orographic rainfall. Southwest monsoon winds lose moisture when it reaches Aravali hills.
Detailed explanation-4: -The Aravalli range runs parallel to the moisture laden south west monsoon winds. It divides Rajasthan on the basis of rainfall. Eastern part receives more rainfall while western part receives less rainfall. In the southern Aravalli the mountains have slight east-west span thus receiving good rains in this region.
