In 1730, King Abhay Singh of Jodhpur ordered to cut down the Khejri tree from the Khejari village to build his palace. Since the tree had cultural and economic importance in the area, leaders like Amrita Devi Bishnoi and three of her daughters stood in protest, which ended in their execution. This enraged the Bishnoi community and soon, they started a rebellion that resulted in the loss of 363 lives. With such loss, King Abhay Singh ordered his soldiers to retreat to end the rebellion. Even today, contributions of Amrita Devi Bishnoi is renowned, and the Bishnoi community are lauded for their conserving spirit.
