We will also encounter the Bishnoi people - the indigenous people of Rajasthan, where you can learn the 29 principles of their prophet, Lord Jhambheshwar which enable them to live in harmony with each other and the environment. We drive through the magnificent Jain temples of Ranakpur to the stunning lake city of Udaipur, with palaces of white marble.
