A Vaghadia Rabari woman customarily wore a plain black woolen veil. But during her marriage ceremonies, she donned a brightly embroidered head covering with nine pillowed medallions arrayed along the center seam. One other Rabari group also embroidered veils with pillowed medallions, but a line of nine meant only Vaghadia Rabari.
