In 1726, Abhai Singh of Marwar gained control of the village of Khejarli, also known as Jalnadiya Khejarli, District-Jodhpur। in Rajasthan।.[2] In 1730, he dispatched one of his ministers, Giridhar Bhandari, to collect wood to be used in the construction of a new palace; some sources report that the wood was needed to build the palace,[2][3] while others note the Marwars intended to burn the trees to create lime.[3][4] Regardless of intended purpose, Bhandari and his entourage of soldiers arrived in Jehnad, where they demanded access to the village’s trees. Led by a woman named Amrita Devi Bishnoi, the villagers refused to surrender their trees to the Raj’s soldiers. Amrita stated that the Khejri trees were sacred to the Bishnois, and her faith prohibited her from allowing the trees to be cut down.[4]
The situation escalated and the Marwan party offered to leave the village’s Khejri trees alone in exchange for a bribe. However, this was seen as a grievous insult to the Bishnoi values.
