Sunari

Sunari is a village in Ladnun tehsil (I sector), Nagaur district, Rajasthan, north west India.

Sunari village is located in north west India, in Rajasthan state on the edge of the Thar (great Indian) desert.

When the Lord Rama fired a flaming arrow into the ground, a large part of the sea became a desert.

Sunari village was founded by the Birda clan of the Jat community in the 13th century.

Four brothers from nearby Bainatha village insulted the son of Thakur who misbehaved with the sister of the Birda boys and cut off the water used to keep their cattle.

When they came to the Marwar region, they saw a soun chidi, a long-tailed shrike in a Khejri tree on left side of the path.

At dawn, one of the brothers saw a sheep in the ker struggling to protect her new born lamb from a pack of three jackals.

Sunari rests at the boundary between semi-arid agricultural land and the Thar desert.

Water sources in Sunari are tube wells to a depth of up to 600 feet (180 m) and local precipitation into four large ponds: Nadiya, Chhapli, Kacholiya and Urlai.

The village is divided into ten baas (localities): Sunari lies on national highway 65 from Nagaur to Ladnun.

Sunari is covered by the Mahatma Gandhi National Rural Employment Guarantee Act.
