Matdar Jgruti Ane Kelavani Karyakram Babat.Rabari women of nearby Zalawad perform the famous circular folk dance rahado. Their marital status is indicated by their costumes; a black zimi, (skirt) means she is married. But if a woman is wearing a red zimi, it means she has not yet tied the knot, probably seeking a husband. The potential husbands seeking brides are elegantly dressed
in colourful dhotis, artistically designed waistcoats and head-cloth twisted at an angle, moving about the fairground at Tarnetar with striking umbrellas, advertising the bachelorhood they are keen to
relinquish.Numerous sadhus and bhajan mandlis (religious music groups) are engrossed in singing continuously, accompanied by folk instruments. The Tarnetar Mela covers a large part of the Tarnetar village with a huge number of stalls put up to sell beautiful local handicrafts unavailable elsewhere, along with ethnic jewellery statues of deities and traditional attire with tiny mirrors embroidered into the clothing. There are also merry-go-round rides, photographers' stalls, magic
shows and tattoo artists who attract a large variety of visitors.
