Rajah Bindah. Mysore. Photographer: Unknown
- Scope & Content:
-
Full-length seated portrait of a young boy, dressed in formal costume and turban. 'The plate represents a boy of the military class of Mysore, which is a numerous one, attached to the Rajah's court and army. They are Hindoos of good caste, aspiring to be termed Kshettryas, or descendants of Rajpoots; but their right to such a claim may be considered doubtful...The youth represented is handsomely dressed in cloth of gold, and may belong to some locally noble family.'
