			[[File:Rabari.png\|thumb\|Rabari from Baroda state, 1911]]
			Rabari claim Baluchistan as the place of their origin. According to Sigrid Westphal-Helbusch, significant migrations of Rabaris took place between 12th to 14th century, when they moved from [[Marwar]] to [[Sindh]] and [[Kutch district\|Kutch]]. The migrations of Rabaris in fact follow similar paths as those of [[Rajput]]s and [[Charan]]s, two other migrant group in this region, indicating intertwined histories. Westphal-Helbusch ascribes the goddess worship traditions of Rabaris to the [[Charan]] influence.<ref>{{Cite book \|last=Kothiyal \|first=Tanuja \|url=https://books.google.com/books?id=be-7CwAAQBAJ \|title=Nomadic Narratives: A History of Mobility and Identity in the Great Indian Desert \|date=2016-03-14 \|publisher=Cambridge University Press \|isbn=978-1-107-08031-7 \|pages=126 \|language=en}}</ref>

			== Tattoo Culture ==
			Rabaris were known for their elaborate Trajva tattoos. They are usually done on the forearms, face, throat. The tattoo can have a range of meanings, including representations of fertility or skill milestones. Green sap from a nearby plant is mixed with soot to make the tattoos.<ref>{{Cite web \|last=IANS \|date=2023-07-27 \|title=The evolution of traditional tattoos in India \|url=https://www.thestatesman.com/lifestyle/the-evolution-of-traditional-tattoos-in-india-1503204979.html \|access-date=2024-07-15 \|website=The Statesman \|language=en}}</ref>
