The Lambani tribe is one of the most ancient tribes in India who have successfully preserved their tradition. They are artisans found across the country with their origins in Rajasthan- North India, who later migrated to the southern parts of the country. With their rich history of travelling and settling in various parts of the country, they also possess different names in each region. They are called
Lambarfi, Banjara, Lamani and Sukali in Karnataka.

Lambani Artisans are skilled in various art forms like- Embroidery, jewellery making, painting, dance, and music.
