Rare Photos
On the unique BADAGA community of the Nilgiris in Southern India…their origin, language, culture and customs !!
Website of Wing commander Bellie Jayaprakash that is regularly updated and more info added
New Photos added on 20-07-09
The following photos are from Thurston’s Book “Castes and Tribes of South India” published in 1909 by Government of India Press, Madras

Badaga Temple - This must be one of the oldest Badaga temples as the photo was published in 1909. The deity of this temple? Also, notice the elephant, horse and the snake on the outer wall. Any guess as to where this temple is located??

Badaga girls in 1909 or earlier. At first glance it appears as those these girls are wearing 'pattu - head gear'.Take a closer look, their heads have been partially shaved. Did this signify any particular custom or period in the lives of these very young girls. No info available in Thurston's book

Rao Bahadur Bellie Gowder with British Engineers and workers at Bridge No.33 between Coonoor & Mettupalayam. Bellie Gowder was involved in laying the Nilgiri Mountain Raiway, now WORLD HERITAGE, a hundred years ago. He was conferred with the title RAO BAHADUR for carrying out the excellent but challenging contract work of building this unique railway system in inhospitable forest area that also involved in cutting tunnels through rocky hills as well as building many bridges with sheer guts. He employed human power to lift the racks & rails and remove the rocks and boulders. Many of his workers were BADAGAS who addressed Bellie Gowder as BELLIE MAISTRY
Rao Bahadur Bellie Gowder became very famous after help laying the Nilgiri Mountain Railway between Ooty & Mettupalayam and British Officilas who visited Nilgiris accepted his invitation to come to his house in Hubbathal Village.

Wonderful collection of articles about our culture. I was wondering if there was any effort being made to conserve our culture and traditions. I see a lot of disturbing customs like dowry and such starting to develop that are not ours and are starting to kill our system. Yours is a great effort and keep up the great work. Would love to see more in future. I have some videos of hettai abba that I’ll post a link to very soon.

Bellie Jayaprakash adds:
Thank you very much, Badugu Thamma.
How wonderful it would be if every Badaga keeps/retains a typical Badaga name, say like Bhoja/Bella or Kaade/Kaangi, so as to maintain ‘nanga kalachara’ !!

I feel really humbled. Hope with all your kind cooperation, we will bring back the great glorious days of our Hethes & Ayas.
Ramesh, more present day snaps & articles will appear soon. Some have already been put on other pages like ‘Recipes, Jewellery’ etc
Hi Shanmugamraju, thanks again for those wonderful sentiments.

This is an excellent useful site.. The coverage appears to be arround Ketti Villages mostly.. Spread your wings to all parts of Nilgiris and this will become a rare site ever made
Kudos to all involved !!!
Bellie Jayaprakash said,
13/04/2007 at 2:30 pm
Thank you Nagulan joghee,
This site is an ‘one man effort’….unfortunately not many come forward with their contributions about Badaga. Earlier one Surendran also complained about this site being ‘too Hubbathalai based’.
Hope to ’spread my wings to all parts of Nilgiris’ and add more and more.
Incidentally, if you go through the page on ‘Badaga Jewellery’, I have mentioned about Kothiben (Bengal Mattam) Karuppi Hethe & Kadaga during one of my ’spreading wings towards Kundhe’

I am really astonished by the website. I was just checking the search engine cuil.com and typed badagas and I got this website. I am really proud to see the photos. Even in 1880 our people appear to be doing well , having taken photos with the Britishers I think we were only friends with them, not their slaves. I find it difficult to digest that we were under their rule because in the photos we see the friendship with them.I came across many nice articles about Badaga. I am proud to be a Badaga. I also wish to congratulate you to bring such a good website about our community. All the best. I will tell my friends about this website.
