They usually wear cotton dhoti (strip of fabric tied into pants), cotton jacket and white cotton turban.<br />
Pushkar has always been the the region's main market for herdsman and farmers buying and selling camels, horses, indigenous breeds of cattle and even elephants. Over the years this annual trading event has increased in volume to become one of the largest in Asia. Temporary tents and campsites suddenly appear to accomodate the thousands of pilgrims, villagers and tourists. Entertainers and contests abound and a festive funfair atmosphere prevails over Pushkar during the Mela's 2 week duration. Thousands of men come first with their camels, horses and cattle and camp on the dunes to transact business. 3 days before the full moon the women arrive beautifully attired. The town of Pushkar is one of the holiest centers of Hinduism and houses one of the few Brahma Temples in India. It is one of the 5 essential pilgrimage centers which a Hindu must visit in his lifetime along with Badrinath, Puri, Rameshwaram and Dwarka. The 12 day fair culminates in a religious Hindu pilgrimage and reaches a crescendo on the night of the full moon (Purnima) when pilgrims take a dip in the holy lake.  <br />

Locally these people are also known as Maldharis - which in their language means cattle herder.<br />
Rabari were traditionally camel herders but now each subgroup works with an animal that is most feasible in the surrounding environment. This subgroup are generally cattle herders. (Rabari is a term used for tribal livestock herders). As they live in and around the Gir Forest which is the home of the endangered Asiatic lion they loose a lot of their cattle to the lions. They are compensated however. Each costume varies slightly according to subgroup. The Sorathi Rabari man wear the 'Chorani' pants which are tight-calved with gathered waists.

In many cases the men also wear large ornate earings made from either gold. These are worn through the cartledge of the middle of the ear. Jewellery is their wealth and they never take it off.
