Dureeahon. Hindoo from Bundelcund. Allahabad. Photographer: Unknown
- Scope & Content:
-
Genre: Ethnographical Photography
'Boondelahs are the principal inhabitants of Dundelcund...and were orginally a tribe of warlike Rajpoot adventurers from Goharbhuni...Dureeahon, the subject of photograph 102, has a very dark complexion and dark eyes, his height about five feet, and he is a strongly built man. His dress consists of a padded green cotton coat and white trousers; he carries on his shoulder an arched framework of bamboo, covered with tinsel embroidery, surmounted by two red flags; at each end of the bamboo, a basket enclosing an earthern jar full of holy Ganges water is suspended, and the framework is neatly fringed with various colours. He is evidently upon a pilgrimage, and having visited Benares, or some holy city on the Ganges, is now carrying jars of water which he has vowed to pour over a sacred image, not improbably that at Rameshwar or Ramisseram, in the south of India...'
