A huge number of tribals from Madhya Pradesh (MP), Maharashtra and Gujarat's tribal-dominated districts have converged at Kawant village in Vadodara to participate in a week-long tribal fair which began today.
The entire eastern border area of Gujarat falling in Dangs district in South Gujarat to Ambaji in North Gujarat bordering Rajasthan is tribal-dominated. Kawant is situated near the tri-junction of MP, Maharashtra and Gujarat.
