The Bishnoïs. Rohet.

The name «bishnoï» comes from «Bis Nau» (twenty-nine) referring to the number of principles taught by their spiritual guide, Jambha, who lived in XV century.
The Bishnoïs are vegetarian and should not drink alcohol or smoke. They have a deep respect for their environment and protect trees as well as «black bucks», a kind of antelope living numeroulsly all around their villages.

Les Bishnoïs sont des végétariens qui ne boivent pas d'alcool et ne fument pas. Ils sont très respectueux de leur environnement et protègent les arbres ainsi que les antilopes "Black Bucks" qui vivent en nombre autour de leurs villages.
Le nom "Bishnoï" vient de "Bis Nau" (29) une référence au nombre des principes enseignés par leur guide spirituel, Jambha, qui vécu au XVème siècle.
