Jambho ji was a great visionary, who had foreseen the consequences of man’s actions, destroying nature for economic development. He saw the need for environmental protection and weaved his principles into religious commandments so that people could justify and accept those principals easily. He launched the eco-religious revolution known as Bishnoism at Samrathal Dhora in 1485 A.D. In a Bishnoi temple, no idol worshipping is allowed. Only a lamp with Ghee (Purified butter) is kept lit while praying, no elaborate ceremonies or rituals are performed by the priests. Bishnoi’s are basically worshippers of Lord Vishnu.
