The Kalbelia tribe, known for their nomadic lifestyle, traverses the Thar Desert in Rajasthan, India, setting up temporary camps called "deras." These camps are simple and mobile, allowing the Kalbelia to adapt swiftly to new locations in search of resources and opportunities. Traditionally snake charmers, they are renowned for their vibrant dances and music, which they perform to sustain their livelihoods.
