these are kalbelia's from thar desert of India which is in state of Rajasthan. They are nomads and iron smiths. History goes that they own their alligience to Maharana Pratap who lost Mewar in battle of haldighati to Akbar. He swore never to settle on any land except Mewar. He could never defeat Akbar and died a nomad. His kinsmen decided to keep his word and till date remain nomads. They are fun loving folks with talents for music and dance. They travel all over Rajasthan in their caravans,
