Walking around the village, we met a Rabari woman was sewing on a mirror to an embroidered piece of cloth. Her long, dangling earrings particularly fascinated us. How heavy those earrings must have been to have weighed down her earlobes with such a large hole! Another Rabari woman squatted as she washed metal eating containers outside. She also had the same style earrings, in addition to tattoo tribal designs on her arms, feet, and lower legs.
