For centuries, the Raika community in Sadri village of Rajasthan’s Pali district, has been herding camels. The camel was declared the state animal of Rajasthan in 2014, and represents what many people associate with this colourful state: the desert. Camels are essential to pastoralists because they can survive the heat, require little water, and offer their milk and hair in return.
Today, however, the herders’ way of life is in jeopardy. The Raikas find themselves struggling to survive in the face of disdain for, and often active hostility towards, their migratory traditions.
Jogaramji Raika is a senior herder in his community, as well as a spiritual leader – or Bhopaji. He communes with the gods whom the Raikas worship – their primary god is Pabuji. Bhopajis often go into a trance while they commune with the spirits.
