Heard about the heroic community of Bishnoi’s who prevented the trees from being cut redundantly? Well, now think about spending time with the same saviors and get to know their tradition while spending a couple of days with them. This trip will take place in the small oasis desert village of Jodhpur, known as the Bishnoi Village. As a tribute to nature, Bishnoi’s are known for not spending on meat or liquor. Likewise, they are also known for their compassion- ate cultivation for dairy cattle. Moreover, Bishnoi ladies are also notable for breastfeeding the infant pronghorns, who have been separated from their mothers.

About the Host/Community

Prajapati’s are the weaver class and Chottaram Prajapat’s homestay is one of the first rural homestay around Jodhpur. As they belong to the Weaver class, durrie (rug) weaving is their family business which we have been practicing since ages. They earn their daily breads from this business only. Earlier, they used to serve the noble families, for maharajas and landlords. As time passed, their families got involved in other businesses but were badly exploited by the business man. Chhotaram’s father, Pukhraj Ji setup a co-operative with 45 families involved in it. Pukhraj Ji has a lavish house in Salawas and has been converted in to a home stay for guests in the form of huts which stay cool in summers and warm in winters.

Which had experienced several initial slowdowns

In 1972, the Urraco, which had experienced several initial slowdowns, was finally put into production. Almost inevitably, the S version also arrived in October of that year. In this case, the goal was not to enhance the car's performance but to improve its overall quality, which had been neglected in the haste to start production.

Te his eros ludus tibique.

Eum eu sumo albucius perfecto, commodo torquatos consequuntur pro ut, id posse splendide ius. Cu nisl putent omittantur usu, mutat atomorum ex pro, ius nibh nonumy id. Nam at eius dissentias disputando, molestie mnesarchum complectitur per te. In commune pericula mediocritatem per. Cu audiam dolorum appareat per, id habeo suavitate argumentum vel.
