History
Various census of India Vishnoi are found in Rajasthan, Punjab, Haryana, MP and UP. Vishnois were founded by a Rajput of Bikaner, who was born in 1541 A.D, and was therefore a contemporary of Baba Nanak, the originator of Sikhism, and is buried in Talwa/Mukam in Bikaner. His spritual name was Jambhaji. He left his followers a scripture in the Nagri character called Shabdwani. The adherents of the sect are the descendants of immigrants from Bikaner and are almost exclusive Jats and carpentars by caste, though they often abandon the caste name and describe themselves simple as Vishnois. They marry only among themselves, are good cultivators, and keep camels in large numbers. They have a ceremony of initiations, somewhat similar and known by the name as that of Sikhs. Beside this there were followers from many other castes like vaishyas like agarwals and guptas which are found mainly in UP and there main occupation is business.
