NoMad Ness


Nomads enjoying a meal. I presume their disheveled hair is a part of their working attire. These nomads live by road sides and work as black smiths and do not stay put in a place for long. They have these bullock carts, hidden from view, and they move on to newer cities once they get bored. They never have permanent houses and are known as Gadia Lohars or 'Black smiths on wheels'. It seems they are originally from Rajasthan, but now belong to the whole country. Interestingly there is an entry on wikipedia on them here.
