| Summary: |
This leaf-hut is only one in a Chenchu temporary settlement in the plains. By the 1940s, most Chenchus (3,000 out of approximately 3,500) lived in or near a Telugu-speaking peasant village in the plains. Most of those in the plains did not live in leaf-huts, however, but in rectangular, mud houses, like their neighbours. The carts in the background are probably transporting the goods of Christoph von Furer-Haimendorf and his party. |
