Ganganagar district lies on the northernmost tip of the Indian state of
Rajasthan to the east of Hanumangarh District. At its western tip lies the
Indo-Pak international border on the Thar Desert. Tours to Ganganagar Rajasthan
is a tryst with the traditional past and the vast ochre expanse of the Thar
Desert.
The town of Ganganagar and its inhabitants boast of a unique memorabilia from the horror of the Indo-Pak War days- a navy blue armored tank captured from the Pakistanis by the Indian soldiers during one of the Indo-Pak wars. The tank, a prized capture by the Indian army during the war, is now a prized possession of the dwellers of Ganganagar; an ancient relic and a plaything for the local children.
