#devmali#rajasthan#thugesh Welcome to Devmali – the village that turns every assumption about wealth upside down. In this documentary, we take you deep inside a Rajasthan settlement where almost every household is a millionaire, yet the people continue to live in traditional mud houses by choice, belief, and culture.
From age-old customs to surprising financial success stories, Devmali challenges everything we know about modern living. Why do these wealthy families avoid cement houses? How did an ancient belief shape the lifestyle of an entire community? And how does a village with simple homes hide such incredible prosperity?

This video explores the unique traditions and strict beliefs of Dev Mali village in Rajasthan's Beawar district, where residents live in mud houses made of cow dung and adhere to rigorous spiritual laws to avoid divine wrath.
These are homes of some billionaires made from cow dung.
I am from a village in India where building pucca houses is banned.
Here, eating non-vegetarian food is also banned.
I'm going to find out what happened to those people who built a proper house
None of these houses has anyone with their own house papers.
Is this superstition?
Is this a tradition that is a thousand years old?
Is this fear?
Belief in this Lord?
I am from Dev Malhi village in Bhiwadi district, Rajasthan.
And like you, I too had this question: what would happen if someone built a solid house?
Already gone?
So my team and I went to see the house ourselves, the one that was solid and whose collapse had destroyed the entire family.
It is said that their entire family fell ill, and one by one, all their family members started getting sick, and within two or three minutes, everyone had died.
The entire family has been wiped out—those were their exact words, and this was not just one such story; there were many others like it.
The material they had sent for—neither the clay nor the winter wood had arrived. They had kept everything outside their house, thinking they'd manage the work in a day or two. But before that, the wrath of the deity descended upon their family, and they realized their mistake.
When all the family's fortunes turned against them, there must have been some reason behind it.
Basically, what happened was that those people came back from the city having earned money.
And they began to feel that the villagers indeed believed in blind faith.
It's not like that at all; we can certainly build proper houses, but when they tried it
When building a solid house, the divine Lord Sri Dev Narayanji also shows His presence and grants blessings.
Another interesting fact I learned is that in this village, no one owns their own house.
Yes, all the houses in this village are part of the 4,000-acre property, registered under the name of the temple.
This is no ordinary temple; this temple was not built by any human being.
No one here builds their own house.
Anyone here who wants to sell a house can sell it.
Here, the money will come from Panki Jarma, not from Bhargav.
A 4000-year-old woman's remains were discovered in a burial site, revealing signs of tuberculosis in her skeleton.
So if you want to sell, then I sold the parna.
Go to the school and bring the bag.
If I were going to wear a respectful outfit
Something like that happened
Drona is a great teacher; he who has taught me the art of archery can take my seat.
You often have to shoot kayaking in extremely extreme conditions for a documentary.
Look here, the drone's tail is still up; let me check if it's moving or not.
Another very important thing that helps me a lot in growing such videos
Epidemic Sound
If there's an emotional scene in the video, a certain kind of music plays in the background.
If it's intense stuff, then such music
And for me, Epidemic Sound is perfect because it has over fifty thousand premium tracks by real artists, and over two hundred sound effects like these.
As I used Epidemic's music throughout this entire video, editing also becomes a breeze for me because I get everything I need in one place.
Then I set out to find out what happens to those who consume non-veg or drink alcohol in this village.
But the biggest question still lingered in my mind: why do people live in unfinished houses, why isn't kerosene used here, why doesn't anyone drink alcohol, and instead, they worship Lord Shridhara Narayana.
Why is there kerosene here, Lord Narayana?
