Samrathal Dhora : Guru Jambheshwar Temple


Samrathal Dhora : It is located 2km south-east of Mukam and 82 Km from Bikaner. Samrathal Dhora is also called dhok dhora. This is a high sand dune (DHORA) where Guru Jambhoji is believed to have achieved enlightenment below a tree called KANKEDI. Guru Jambhoji organized a famine relief camp here during Rajasthan’s worst drought in the year 1485, to stop migration of farmers and cattle towards Malwa. 

Samrathal Dhora was the main preaching place of Guru Jambhoji. On the 8th (krishna) of Kartik month of Vikrami samwat 1542(year 1485 CE) Guru Jambhoji founded Bishnoi dharma after a havan & pahal and Pulho Ji was made the first Bishnoi

Guru Jambhoji stayed here most of the time (VS 1540 to 1593). Guru Jambhoji gave sermons known as Sabads and accepted people in Bishnoi dharma from many casts and faiths. The followers visit here on all Amawas (new moon day) but Falguni & Asoji amawas are main. In 1941 Maharaja Ganga Singh of Bikaner constructed a pond here. It is a tradition to bring a load of sand from the bottom and leave it at the top of the dune.
