INDIAN GEOGRAPHY

Detailed explanation-1: -The Western Ghats in India provide favorable conditions for orographic rainfall. The warm and moist air from the Arabian sea is blocked by the Western Ghats and gets lifted over mountain ranges.

Detailed explanation-2: -orographic precipitation, rain, snow, or other precipitation produced when moist air is lifted as it moves over a mountain range. As the air rises and cools, orographic clouds form and serve as the source of the precipitation, most of which falls upwind of the mountain ridge.

Detailed explanation-3: -Orographic precipitation is well-known in several parts of the world. On oceanic islands like hawaii and new zealand, mountain rainfall is prevalent. Much of the rain falls on the windward sides of these sites, while the opposite parts remain generally dry, occasionally desert-like.
