Deg Rai Mata oran is one of Rajasthan's largest sacred groves, protected by the surrounding villagers through a traditional code of conduct. A local guardian tells us how the lives of oran’s people and its biodiversity are intrinsically linked and why the new changes to the landscape brought about by power lines and turbines could be detrimental to this sacred oasis and its practices of coexistence.
