Description
Side A: (The 3 photographs are pasted on a piece of paper. All three appear to be studio photographs. Two of them have captions printed on them), clockwise: Photo 1: On the photograph: “THREE SISTERS”: 3 young adults, probably from a well-off family because they wear jewelry. Photo 2: Below the photograph a hand-written title “High Caste Family”: From the clothing and jewelry one could say that this must have been a family from Kerala.

The dancing girls were the women who were dedicated to the temples; they were also called the ‘devadasis’.— Side B, counterclockwise: Photo 1: “Boarding School”.
