A rabari tribal from Kutch in his traditional white dress. They are nomadic in nature and only 3000 families are believed to be around kutch. Their main job is herding camels. This old man is in his eighties and he told us even today he herds camels across kutch for kilometers in search of vegetation and pasture. In the dry kutch heat when we were worried about heat related issues like dehydration though we were traveling in jeep and had lot of supply of water it was amazing to the see the way the tribals had adapted themselves to live in this harsh desert setting and go about their daily lives.
