The Dewars are found mainly in Madhya Pradesh and Chhattisgarh, and they are known to have moved from their original place called Garha Mandla after the fall of the Gond state. Devar men are proficient in singing and work as the minstrel for the other communities. Women are skilled in marking tattoos.

About the Rabari Tribe, Rajendra Kumar Jhariya, Assistant Keeper told that – The Rabari tribe is a shining example of the pastoral nomads. They are found in the desert plains of Rajasthan and Gujarat. The nomadic life of the Rabari is deeply associated with their herds of animals they rear. They travel a long distance, searching for pastures to feed their animals, and this seasonal movement takes a long course to return to their native place. Presently, the tribe has also started the work of agriculture with the traditional occupation of animal husbandry for their subsistence.  The Rabari women are known for their skilful embroidery, painting, and clay relief work that embodies the art of mirror embellishment. Visitors may find a first-hand experience to explore the nomadic life of the Rabari tribe through this exhibition in the gallery.
