Guru Jambheshwar (b. 1451) is the founder of the Bishnoi community. Before his death, he had laid down 29 principles to be followed by the sect. He also told them to worship Lord Vishnu. The Hindi translation of the number 29 and the local pronunciation of the name of Lord Vishnu led to this sect being called Bishnoi. Killing animals and felling trees were banned. Before his death he has stated that the black buck was his manifestation after death and should be conserved.
