  • A book based on the 4361 year old ''Shalihotra Samhita" (encyclopedia of the physician Shalihotra) photographed at Dundlod Fort, Dundlod, Rajasthan, India, 14th June 2008. <br />
<br />
The Shalihotra Samhita is a large treatise on the care and management of horses with some 12,000 shlokas in Sanskrit. It is the principal work of Shalihotra (c. 2350 BCE) who was the son of a Brahmin sage. It has been translated into Persian, Arabic, Tibetan and English languages. The work described equine and elephant anatomy, physiology, surgery and diseases with their curative and preventive measures. It elaborated on the body structures of different races of horses, and identified the structural details by which one can determine the age of a horse. Two other works, namely Asva-prashnsa and Asva-lakshana sastram are also attributed to Shalihotra.  Some later authors have named their veterinary works after Shalihotra and others have based their work on his Samhita. Subsequent generations copied, revised and added to Shalihotra's text. Hence the term Shalihotra refers to similar texts in a tradition.<br />

Raghuvendra Singh Dundlod is co-owner of the Marwari Bloodlines stud farm in Dundlod, dedicated to the preservation and international recognition of the indigenous horses of India. Of these horses the Mawari is considered the most regal. Its defining characteristics are the unique lyre shaped ears which can rotate 180 degrees individually or together; they are one of the most ancient and purest breeding lines; they have endurance considered to be on a par with Arabian horses; they were bred in India by the 12th century Marwar rulers for battle in which they excelled; known for particularly for its loyalty, speed and stamina. The breed came to the point extinction during the Raj as a result of British persecution and numbers remained critically low until the formation of the Indigenous Horse Society of India in 1996. The breed remains threatened to this day.<br />

Jugglers, acrobats, magicians and folk dancers abound while salesman of equestrian and camel-related merchandise do a roaring trade in the bustling camp.<br />
