At 'Jajiwala Dhora', you will find a temple/dharamshala (spiritual dwelling) built by Vishnoi's, a community of people that work for saving trees and wild life animals. In the temple courtyards, wild animals that are either hurt or have potential threat from other animals are taken care of till the time they are ready to wander into the wild. Outside the temple, amenities such as water and fodder are made available for wild animals.
The picture at the top left shows a 2-yr old being fed ( by me ;) ). As far as I remember they named her 'Aarti'. You can see how friendly she has become. And there was a time when she was scared of human contact. The picture on the right shows the area where they keep water for wild animals to feed on.
If you visit the place, you will find gazelle's, peacocks and nilgai (the blue bull). I also had a chance to pamper a young nilgai (probably an year and a half or so).
The place was far from the city and lied untouched virgin. It gave a sense of harmony and pleasure to be in the arms of mother nature, even when it was burning at over 45 degrees Celsius.
I was overwhelmed by the initiative taken to protect the wild. It's steps like these that help maintain balance between nature and concrete. Nurturing the wild like our own babies is not an easy task considering the stress and tension of the modern world.
I wish that people are inspired by the initiative taken and take similar initiatives to protect wildlife and mother nature.
