Review of Bhotwara Village:
“We grow kabuli chana, bajra, wheat. Sarso during winter. All farms have submersible pump and we stay on relatively flat terrain. So it’s easier to do farming.
We have sufficient rain during the year, unlike other parts of Rajasthan. We also have the Utangan river nearby, so there is no problem of irrigation.
My extended family works in the village farm, while I visit 2-3 times a year with my wife and kids.
We don’t have any problem of school or electricity. Few colleges are also there nearby. Mahavir temple has its own small hospital for mothers and babies.
Many tourists also visit our village from Jaipur, and all parts of India, to see the temple.”
