The guardians of Khejari: Bishnois II Jodhpur Documentary

This is a unique story of Bishnois who are preachers of nature. Please do watch the full documentary that I have created. Bishnois are located all around in villages of Jodhpur. But the more popular ones are Guda Bishnoi and Khejarli. The story says that Amrita Devi sacrificed her life along with her three daughters viz. Asu, Ratni and Bhagu in year 1730 to save green trees being felled by the Maharaja of Jodhpur at a place known as Khejarli in Marwar, Rajasthan. Along with her more than 363 other Bishnois, died saving the Khejri trees. Khejri temple and the memorial has been built to respect their sacrifice. They preach Guru Jamboji who laid the bishnois religion. Guru Jambheshwar gave his followers 29 precepts. In local dialect, it is often said, “Untees dharma ki akhadi, hirday dhario joye, Jambheji kirpa kari, naam bishnoi hoye” which means those who will follow these twenty-nine principles by heart, Guru Jambhoji will bless them and they will be a Bishnoi. The animals are well protected here in the Bishnoi land. Guda lake is home to various species of migratory and local birds. The important birds which can be sighted here include comb duck, darter, demosille crane, flamingo, spoonbill, mallard, painted stork.
