The tribe dress in the somewhat primitive fashion prevalent
in Chhattisgarh, and there is nothing distinctive about their
clothing. Women are tattooed at their parents' house before or just
after marriage. It is said that the tattoo marks remain on the soul
after death, and that she shows them to God, probably for purposes of
identification. There is a saying, 'All other pleasures are transient,
but the tattoo marks are my companions through life.' A Dhanwar will
not take water from a woman who is not tattooed.
