Dhangees. Hindoos. Saugor. Photographer: Waterhouse, James
- Scope & Content:
-
Genre: Ethnographical Photography
'This group consists of a young Dhangee chief, Rajah Krishna, and a relation probably, sitting by him, with four attendants behind, one of whom carries a chowree of yak's tail. The young chief is superbly dressed in cloth of gold, but seems particularly ill at ease in his unaccustomed seat, and he holds his sword upright resting upon his right shoulder. The Official Report gives no clue as to who he is, except that he resides at Belhara, near Saugor, but states that the Dhangees are cultivators, of quiet peaceable habits, similar in all respects to ordinary Hindoos in religion and mode of life...the tribe is numerous about Saugor, where the Dhangees are among the best agriculturists. They are not migratory or unsettled, and bear a good character in all respects. The young rajah represented was a pupil in the Government school at Saugor in 1862, and it may be hoped received a good practical education to fit him for his duties in life.'
