EDITORS COMMENTS
In this evocative photograph taken circa 1890s, a group of Bhutanese people are seen gathered at Sikkim, India. The image captures a moment in time when the borders between Bhutan and Sikkim were not yet clearly defined, and cultural exchanges between the two neighboring countries were common. The Bhutanese people in this photograph are dressed in their traditional attire, which reflects their rich cultural heritage. The men wear ankle-length robes called ghos, which are wrapped around the body and held in place by a belt called a kera. The women wear long, flowing skirts called kira, which are draped over a blouse called a togo and held in place with a sash called a kamar. A child in the group wears a simple tunic and leggings. Despite their distinct traditional dress, the Bhutanese people in this photograph share physical similarities with the people of Sikkim and other neighboring regions. This is a reminder of the complex racial and cultural interconnections that existed in the Himalayan region during this period. The photograph also offers a glimpse into the daily life of Bhutanese people during the late 19th century. They are seen in a relaxed and informal setting, engaging in conversation and interacting with each other. The presence of a large, ornate umbrella suggests that the gathering may have taken place during a festival or other celebratory occasion. This photograph is an important historical record of the Bhutanese people and their interactions with their neighbors in Sikkim, India. It offers a window into a time when borders were less defined, and cultural exchanges were a natural part of daily life in the Himalayan region.
