Men
sitting on Charpoy
In India the
different castes are always respected, as is shown in this
picture. The man sitting at the foot (far right) of the charpoy
(bed) is a Rajput, and the two other men are Brahman. It is
customary to allow members of a higher caste to sit at the head of
the charpoy and the lower at the foot, as it is in most any seating
arrangements not only on the charpoy.
