Description: | Group of five Hara Rajputs posed at the base of a tree taken by Eugene Clutterbuck Impey in the early 1860s, from the Archaeological Survey of India Collections. Impey wrote in 'Delhi, Agra, and Rajpootana, illustrated by eighty photographs' (London, 1865): 'The Haras are the most important of the twenty-four branches of the Chohan tribe of Rajpoots, and are descended from Manikrae, King of Ajmere, who encountered the first Mahometan invaders in A.D. 685...'. This print is a duplicate of plate 68(a) of Impey's publication. Impey had been employed by the Government of Indian to record the tribes and castes of Delhi Agra and Rajasthan as part of a wider survey of the people and monuments of India. | License: | http://www.bl.uk/services/copy/permission.html | Rights holder: | British Library | Source: | Collect Britain | Creator: | Impey, Eugene Clutterbuck | Identifier: | http://www.collectbritain.co.uk/personal... | Language: | en-GB | Go to resource |
