“A single buffalo in this market provides livelihood to at least ten people,” remarked a buyer in the Pashu Hatwara (Livestock Market) in Jaipur, during our fieldwork. This statement drew our attention towards the symbiotic relationship that exists between the rural population and livestock which consequently led to the existence and sustenance of various livestock markets and cattle fairs in India. A livestock market is a dynamic place where various types of inter-human and human-animal interactions are seen. Such interactions require different kinds of services besides the regular transactions between buyers and sellers. This paper is based on the ethnographic study of the Pashu Hatwara Livestock Market in Jaipur, undertaken by the Anthropological Survey of India, India. It utilises anthropological framework to discuss the subsidiary services rendered in this livestock market, their significance and role in sustaining the market. Likewise, it also highlights how the people from the surrounding villages are dependent upon this market for livelihood opportunities, many of whom are generational practitioners and preservers of their traditional occupations. Lastly, this paper presents a brief socio-economic picture of these service providers and how ecological changes are leading to a significant change in their lives.
