Bishoi women. near Jodhpur

Bishnoi women working in a field near their home in a village south of Jodhpur.
It's very common to see Deers around their houses. The Bishnois are a community of nature worshippers in the state of Rajasthan. Bishnois are strong lovers of wild animals. It is because of their protection that in Bishnoi dominated areas, deer and antelope(such as blue bulls, black bucks, chinkaras and chowsinghas) are seen grazing peacefully in their fields despite the fact that the State of Rajasthan where the Bishnois mainly live, face severe shortages of water.The sect was founded by Guru Jambheshwar (b. 1451) after a drought in marwar region of India. He had laid down 29 principles to be followed by the sect. Bish means 20 and noi means 9. Thus, Bishnoi translates as Twenty-niners. Further the Guru told to worship lord Vishnu (Bishnu). Thus the sect called vishnoi or Bishnoi. Killing animals and felling trees were banned.

Opium Ceremonial. near Jodhpur. Rajasthan

In village near jodhpur, Enchie and her husband during the one the opium ceremony- a ritual by which guests are traditionally welcomed. Opium is distiilled in a small toolr seen on the bottom left, then the liquid is given into your hands to drink.. I tried, but it doesn't taste of anything..
Although now illegal in India, and forbidden by the 24th tenets of the Bishnoi, the sect still uses it and have been given special consent from the Indian government to use opium for ‘religious’ purposes. Legally , they are only allowed to use empty poppy pods, after the opium has been extracted for medical manufacture. The pods are then ground, mixed with a sugar solution, then diluted further with water for the ceremony.
I must say that nowadays it's mostly a touristic attraction.

In the culture of the Indian subcontinent a hijra (also known by a number of different names and romanized spellings) is usually considered a member of "the third sex" — neither man nor woman. Most are physically male or intersex, but some are female. Hijras usually refer to themselves as female at the language level, and usually dress as women. Census data does not exist, but estimates range from 50,000 to 5,000,000 in India alone.
