Gujarat's Rabari community

The Rabari community is a traditionally nomadic group predominantly found in Gujarat, India. They are known for their distinctive culture, which includes unique attire, customs, and a rich heritage of pastoralism. Historically, the Rabaris are cattle herders and traders, often moving with their livestock to find grazing pastures. Their lifestyle reflects a strong connection to nature and a deep community bond. In modern times, some Rabaris are settling down and engaging more in agriculture and other trades, but they still retain many aspects of their traditional identity and practices. The Rabaris contribute to Gujarat's diverse cultural tapestry.
