Thanks for your comment, Frank Herman. This photo has been published many times. One example is Hutchinsons Customs of the World in 1913. In this book the caption says "A nautch girl". I have added this book as a reference. I have also added your comment.frank HERMAN2023-10-25 19:58
Hello, I am interested in this picture. I wonder why this girl is labeled "Nautch Dancing Girl. She is formally dressed as a Kuchupudi style temple dancer. Any idea who described this person as Nautch? and why? Just a generic name or ethnographic description? with kind regards Frank HERMAN frank.herman@telenet.be
