Loonkaransar
Loonkaransar, also known as Lunkaransar, is a town and tehsil headquarters in Bikaner district, Rajasthan. Its name comes from "Lun," meaning salt in the local language, referencing a now-dry salt lake that once existed in the area.
Positioned on the Bikaner-Sri Ganganagar road, the region is renowned for its peanut crop production, often called the "Rajkot of Rajasthan" because of its significant contribution to oily crop farming. The area’s climate and soil are favorable for cultivation of peanuts, jojoba, and olives, with a government-established olive oil refinery operating locally.
Historically, Loonkaransar lies in a small, closed basin surrounded by desert dunes, and archaeological studies link the region to the ancient Harappan-Indus civilization, which thrived after the salt lake dried up centuries ago.
With a population exceeding 200,000 as of 2011, the town combines agricultural importance with cultural and historical significance in the Thar Desert region.
