In a world driven by instant gratification, the stories of communities in and around Orans offer a lasting reminder of the power of nurturing and protecting nature with love and respect. These communities understand that true rewards—such as peace—are beyond the reach of money and haste. Their legacy is the forest and all its wild inhabitants, cherished as vital to ecological balance. From shared groundwater wells that sustain over 100 households without ever being overdrawn, to community-led efforts in wildlife and water conservation, the people in western Rajasthan exemplify a profound, selfless commitment to preserving nature.
This documentary on sacred groves in Rajasthan and its water bodies explores a community deeply attuned to the value of water and forests. However once plentiful, these resources have dwindled under the pressure of climate change, transforming their livelihoods. Yet, their commitment to safeguarding and revitalising these natural treasures remains unwavering.
