The Gadhai have seen a decline in their traditional occupation, which was selling salt. Many are now small and medium-sized farmers. A smaller number are sharecroppers, with a few employed as agricultural labourers. The Gadhai are [[Sunni]] Muslims, and have customs similar to other [[Gujarati Muslim]] communities. | The Gadhai have seen a decline in their traditional occupation, which was selling salt.
