EDITORS COMMENTS
In this image from the 19th century, we witness a gathering of Hindu priests or Brahmin, each representing distinct sects, at the serene banks of a river. The scene is a vibrant tapestry of faith and devotion, as the priests prepare for their religious rituals. Identified in the image are the priests of Sceroteri, Kanuge, Drauers, Brigibasi, and Uriah. Each sect is distinguished by their unique attire and religious paraphernalia. The Sceroteri priest is depicted wearing a simple white robe, adorned with a red border and a yellow cape. He holds a wooden staff in one hand and a small bowl in the other, symbolizing his spiritual authority. The Kanuge priest is clad in a bright red robe, with intricate gold designs adorning his chest and a white cape draped over his shoulders. He holds a conch shell and a drum, instruments used to call the gods and invoke their blessings. The Drauers priest is dressed in a simple white robe, with a red border and a yellow cape. He carries a wooden staff and a small pot filled with water, which is used for various rituals. The Brigibasi priest is identified by his distinctive white robe, with a red border and a red cape. He holds a trident, a symbol of his god, and a small drum. Lastly, the Uriah priest is dressed in a red robe, with a white border and a white cape. He holds a wooden staff and a small pot filled with water, which is used for purification rituals. This handcoloured copperplate drawing and engraving, created by Andrea Bernieri from Giulio Ferrario's "Costumes Ancient and Modern of the Peoples of the World," provides a fascinating glimpse into the rich and diverse religious practices of Hindu priests or Brahmin during the 19th century. The image captures the essence of their devotion and the importance of their role in Hindu society.
