India - Rabari People

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rabari This indigenous group, with a Persian physiognomy, had possibly migrated from the Iranian plateau. The Rabari are now found largely in Gujarat and Rajasthan. The women dedicate long hours to their textile and embroidery tradition. They also manage the hamlets and money matters, while the men are on the move with the herds. Livestock, wool, milk and leather, are their main source of income.
