Agiculture was dependent on rainwater. If it did not rain, crops would fail. It became difficult for the people to get foodgrains and other things.
A great famine occured in Maharashtra in AD1630. People were greatly distressed due to this famine. It has been described in these words ---'People were ready to sell themselves for a piece of bhakri, but there was nobody to buy them'.
