This picture was taken the Rao Jodha Desert Park now home to hundreds off species of grass.

A close view showed  up three types in this cluster including a butterfly.

The Golden Grass is probably at the end of a short life which begins with the onset of the scanty rainy season.

It hold together the soil on the hills and provides a home to numerous insects and small birds.
