- The Boha geoglyphs or Great Indian Desert geoglyph are a group of large geoglyphs made in the soil in the Thar Desert of Rajasthan, India. Several sites were found located around the city of Jaisalmer, marked by geometrical lines resembling geoglyphs. The lines that make up these figures are stripes etched into the ground, ranging up to 10 centimeters deep (4 in) and spreading 20 to 50 cm wide (8-20 in). The sizes of the glyphs are so large that it is believed that its creators must not have been able to view them in its entirety. The largest of these glyphs are in the vicinity of the village of Boha near Jaiselmer. The Boha geoglyph is made of a succession of concentric and linear outlines and spans over 100,000 square metres, making it far larger than the Nazca Lines geoglyph in southern Peru, or any other known geoglyph. The geoglyphs were discovered by French researchers Carlo Oetheimer and Yohann Oetheimer, initially using Google Earth. In 2021, the Oetheimers published their findings of field research at Boha, giving an estimate of at least 150 years for the age of the geoglyph. According to the 2011 Population Census, Boha tehsil is a medium-sized village in the Jaisalmer district of Rajasthan. (en)
