The Thar Desert, also known as the Great Indian Desert, has various types of sand dunes. Shifting sand dunes, which change shape and location due to wind action, are a prominent feature. In the local dialect of the region (parts of Rajasthan), these shifting dunes are referred to as ‘Dhrian’. ‘Dhoros’ is another local term, often used for sand hills or dunes, which may be stabilized or partially stabilized, but ‘Dhrian’ specifically refers to the actively shifting variety.
