Great Rann of Kutch, Gujarat The sunrise over the white salt plains of the Rann looks unreal. With no hills or buildings to break the horizon, the sun appears as if rising over the land. In winter, especially during the Rann Utsav, the first light reflects off the salt like a diffused glow. (Image: annutsav.com)
