Leh receives the minimum rainfall in a year among the given options.

Leh is located in the Union Territory of Ladakh, which lies in the rain shadow area of the Himalayas. This geographical location prevents the monsoon winds from reaching the region, resulting in extremely low precipitation. It is often described as a cold desert.

Other regions in India known for low rainfall include the Thar Desert (parts of Rajasthan) and the Bikaner region, but among the options provided, Leh is significantly drier. Jodhpur is in Rajasthan, New Delhi is in the Northern Plains, and Bengaluru is in South India, all of which receive much more rainfall compared to Leh.
