“Group of Gaddis.” Group portrait of indigenous people from the Himalayan area of Chamba. There are three rows consisting of adult males and children and they are all wearing traditional dress. They are representatives of the Gaddis, a mixture of several ethnic groups who inhabited the Dhauladhar mountains. The Chamba mission was established, in 1863, by William Ferguson (1821-1904) as an independent venture, and was an independent princely state before coming under British influence in 1848. It now forms part of Himachal Pradesh, India.
