Cheroo. Aboriginal (Hindoo). Palamow. Photographer: Unknown
- Scope & Content:
-
Genre: Ethnographical Photography
Head and shoulders half-profile portrait. Oval image. '...The most distinguished in modern times were the Rajahs of Palamow. According to the family records they were formerly chiefs of Kumaon, and conquered Bhojpore in the Arrah district, expelling the Rajah of that country. There they reigned for six generations, till driven out by a stronger tribe; they then, some 250 years ago, invaded Palamow, driving from thence the Rajpoot Rajah...In Palamow they constructed two extensive forts of brick...[In the second of these] the last independent Rajah attempted to hold out against a British force, but the fort was breacxhed by artillery, and he then surrendered. The last of the race died childless, but there are three collateral branches now in existence, and Baboo Hur Buksh Rae, represented in the photograph, is the proprietor of the estate consisting of 370 villages, descended to him through the second of these branches. He is consequently a Cheroo of the best blood.'
