About This Book

The volume presents an alphabetical ethnographic survey of southern Indian social groups, offering concise entries on communities whose names fall between C and J. Each entry documents occupations, marriage rules, religious practices, dress, and dietary customs alongside measured anthropometric data and local terminology. Field observations are supplemented by illustrations and comparative tables that record crafts, rituals, and daily institutions such as leatherwork, weaving, and food preparation. The overall focus is descriptive: mapping the variety of kinship patterns, caste septs, ritual observances, and material culture that shape rural social life in the region.

Printed by The Superintendent, Government Press, Madras.
