Tinted lantern slide showing a sadhum, a Hindu wandering female sage. The lady has whitened her face and a dark line is painted on her forehead. Her hair is curled in a large knot on the top of her head, and she wears a sari. She sits cross-legged on the ground. The caption to this image reads: "India: Chanpatia Dist[rict]. Sadhum." This slide comes from a collection created by missionaries from Regions Beyond Missionary Union, an interdenominational Protestant evangelical mission working in northeast India (Bihar and Orissa) and Nepal.
