Market in Jaisalmer

Market in Jaisalmer
Ahimsa is the Hindu doctrine of nonviolence or noninjury to other living beings. As a result of this doctrine, many Hindus are vegetarians, and cows and other animals often wander freely and unharmed in the streets of Indian towns and villages, as in this market in Jaisalmer in the state of Rājasthān.
