Sivadass, Naga of Niwayi, Jeypore; Naga of Jeypore; Sookadev Shekawatty, Oudeypore, 1876. 'The Nagas, supposed to be one of the aboriginal tribes, like the Bheels or the Ghoonds, are met with all over Rajpootana [in India]. They lately killed an officer of the Government, and troops had to be sent to chastise them. The men who met the Prince [of Wales, future King Edward VII) at Jeypore [Jaipur] are a kind of armed followers of the Maharajah. They were not all dressed alike; many had a corset of tiger-skin, and a few had a curiously ornamented hood, projecting high up at the back of the head, with pieces also projecting over each shoulder. A bunch of dark feathers was stuck in the puggree or head-dress'. From "Illustrated London News", 1876.
