Gudamalani

Gudamalani lies in the Mallani country of western Rajasthan, near the course of the Luni River. The river flows through an arid landscape of sandy ground and thorny vegetation, carrying seasonal water westward towards the salt flats of the Rann of Kutch. Local chiefs of the Rathore lineage held estates in this region, while farming and animal husbandry supported communities along the river and its tributaries.
