Khamir Annual Exhibitions

Cattle herders decorated, and still decorate, their cattle with bells and beads. This was a reflection of their relationship with their animals. This leather collar with single metal bell was tied along the neck of a cow, bull or camel. A ghoogarmal had more bells.

These were simple collars to adorn and fasten the animal in the semi-permanent shelters of herders or within the house premises. 

Maaloti was a set of metal bells on a leather strap that was wrapped aroundboth hornsof a cow or bull and rested on the forehead. It was popular among the farming communities in the Bhachau region of Kachchh.
