The Rajasthan government has resolved to evolve this winner of the Best Tourism Village of India Award 2024 village as a popular destination for domestic and international tourists, Deputy Chief Diya Kumari said on Saturday.
The dusty but unique village in the Masuda subdivision, about 60 km from here, follows its centuries-old lifestyle, customs, and even commitments made to the village deity Bhagwan Devnarain, the folk-lore divine figure (and an incarnation of Lord Vishnu).
According to folklore, Lord Devnarain visited this place nestled in Aravalli hill spanning around 3000 bigha, about 1100 years ago, in the Vikram Samvat 999, and sought a place to reside in.
Locals there faithfully dedicated the entire 3000 bighas of land to the divine and made a cow-dung-made home with a thatched roof. Since then, they have been residing in their homes on lord's land without their ownership.
