Raingi or travelling cart, Berar. Photographer: Mulheran, James
- Scope & Content:
-
Genre: Ethnographical Photography
Showing five men seated on the cart, which appears to be the same vehicle seen in the background of print 6: 'The above is an illustration of the Raingi or small travelling cart used by the natives of Berar, and the adjoining district of Chanda. They are very light, cheap, and strong, but without springs of any kind. They are drawn by a pair of bullocks suited to the size of the Raingi. Two men with their bundles, can be accommodated in most of them, and carried over very indifferent roads at the rate of 6 and 6½ miles an hour. To prevent collision at night, the bullocks have small bells suspended from their necks, which can be heard at considerable distance.' For another copy of this photograph, see Photo 993(29).
