A hindoo fakeer with long hair, Lowes Cato Dickinson, 1844

"a hindoo fakeer" with long hair, cloak and walking stick stands by a rock from which water springs. Fakeers are however sufi (muslim), while hindu holy men may be called sadhu. This lithograph was taken from plate 3 of emily eden's 'portraits of the princes and people of india'. Eden incorrectly wrote: "a fakeer is a religious devotee, whether of the mahomedan or hindoo persuasion; the person represented in the print is a hindoo".
