A caravan of Banjara community herders and women is travelling along State Highway 5 in western India. The group moves with donkeys carrying household belongings, supplies, and young livestock secured inside side bags during the migration journey. Women are dressed in traditional Banjara attire featuring colourful ghagras, long odhnas, and thick white bangles worn along their upper arms, reflecting the distinctive cultural identity of the nomadic community. The caravan progresses along the roadside landscape while livestock and pack animals remain closely grouped together. Seasonal migration and movement with animals have historically been associated with several nomadic and pastoral communities across India. The footage captures travelling traditions, traditional dress, and rural movement
