It originated in the hilly tracts of Dangs comprising the Nasik and Ahmednagar districts in the state of Maharashtra.[1] The breed is medium to large in body size. They are a very good draught breed and known for their adaptability to heavy rainfall areas. The skin of this breed secretes an oil element that enables them to tolerate heavy rains.[2][3]
