A camel herder is always on the move. In earlier times, making tang was a creative pastime for Maldharis while their camels grazed. One of the camel herders evokes a fitting image of the tang:
“It touches my chest as it hangs from my shoulder to my heart while I braid my tang. After it is made, I tie it around the heart of my camel. So it ties my heart to the camel’s."
