Deserts are located on western side of continents. This is because of the cold ocean currents are on west side of the continents. This make the air cold making it to lose it's moisture. Hence causing low or no rainfall on west sides. You can make this observation by looking at oceanic currents and location of deserts in continents. But Thar desert is due to absence of blocking mountains in north to cause orographic rainfall.
