The correct statement is: It is lost in the marshy land of the Rann of Kuchchh.
The Luni River is a seasonal river that originates in the Pushkar valley of the Aravalli Range, near Ajmer in Rajasthan, flows through the southeastern portion of the Thar Desert, and ends in the marshy lands of the Rann of Kuchchh in Gujarat. It is one of the few rivers that drain into the desert and it is a saltwater river, which means that it carries a significant amount of dissolved salts and minerals.
