Oomuts of Nursinghur. Rajpoot Tribe. Central India. Photographer: Waterhouse, James
- Scope & Content:
-
Genre: Ethnographical Photography
Group of five seated figures, with servant standing behind. Photograph taken in the camp of Mytab Singh at Bhopal. For another copy of this photograph, with a note of the circumstances under which it was taken, see Photo 355/9 (26). 'The central figure inthis group is Koonwur Mytab Singh, son of the Rajah of Nursinghur, and the others are dependents or associates. The turban of the figure on the left of the picture is tied, as will be remarked, in a strange fashion. The wearer is Oomed Singh Omud, and affects, from the style of his head dress, to be a 'dandy' or fop, of the first water.'
