The older generation meanwhile set themselves down with their belongings of snacks and condiments to think about times gone by and matters of import regarding the future of their tribal culture.

The Rathvas loosely inhabit Chhota Udepur in Vadodara District with marginal groups extending into Dahod and Godhra Districts and Alirajpur in adjoining Madhya Pradesh District. The Rathvas are the largest tribal unit in the state of Gujarat.

From a history of hunter gatherers they now have graduated to farming and other rural occupations exploring their pastoral destiny. In spite of changing living patterns, they religiously respect their old ways in the celebrations of their rituals and have a deep pride in their traditional culture.

Music plays an extremely important part of their lives and no Rathva would feel complete without his lovingly embroidered Flute or paavo as a remembrance of his forested homeland. The Rathvas also practice a wall painting form based on ritual traditional beliefs on the inner walls of their homes and dedicated to Pithora, the Rathva universal God of well being.

The village of Kavant is located in the heart of the Rathva homeland near the town of Chhota Udepur about a 100 kms from Vadodara which has an air port, a rail link and is a major city. There are two interesting heritage properties which are ideal to stay in near Kavant, the royal palaces at Chhota Udepur and Jambughoda.
