Pabiben comes from a community called Rabari which is a nomadic tribe of Gujarat. They are distinguishable by the numerous tattoos that they have on their hands and throat and the big long brass earrings that women wear, as well as the black cape that they wear on their heads, while the men are always dressed in white.
