There is not a single permanent house in this village

While permanent houses have now started being built in many villages of India, Devmali village situated in Ajmer, Rajasthan is the only such village in India. Where there is not even a single permanent house. Residents here do not build permanent houses, no matter how much money they have.

Why don’t the people of this village build permanent houses?

The villagers tell this story

There is a temple of Lord Devnarayan in this village, which has become a famous tourist place. According to reports, thousands of devotees come to visit the temple every year. According to the villagers, many years ago, when Lord Devnarayan arrived in Devmali village, he/she asked for a place to stay from the local community.

The community built a house for them, but at the same time, the community had also decided to never build a permanent house for themselves. This is the reason that even today concrete or metal rods are not used in the construction of houses. Let us tell you, only the government buildings and temples in the village remain permanent.
