Object description:

The photo shows a figure of Pabuji in one of the gates leading to the old town in the capital of the region - Bhuj. The character was usually portrayed as a rider with a lance in his hand. Placed in the city gate, it symbolically defended the city. Pabuji was born one of the ancestors of the Rajput Rathor family and one of the heroes of the epics and songs of western India. He was a rajput who, according to the epic, devoted his life to fighting for the good of his people. There are a number of characters in the epic, members of his team. Besides the rajputs, songs about Pabuji Rathor are also sung by shepherds and several lower castes linked by cultural and economic ties to the rajputs.
