Nilgar or Nirali is a purely occupational termapplied to Chhipas or Rangaris who work in indigo (_nil_); whileBhaosar is another name for the Rangaris in the northern Districts.
2. Its origin and position.
The Rangaris say that when Parasurama, the Brahman, was slaying theKshatriyas, two brothers of the warrior caste took refuge in a templeof Devi. One of them, called Bhaosar, threw himself upon the image, while the other hid behind it. The goddess saved them both and toldthem to adopt the voca...tion of dyers. The Rangaris are descended fromthe brother who was called Bhaosar and the Chhipas from the otherbrother, because he hid behind the image (_chhipna_, to hide). The wordis really derived from _chhapna_, to print, because the Chhipas printcoloured patterns on cotton cloths with wooden stamps. Rangari comesfrom the common word _rang_ or colour. The Chhipas have a slightlydifferent version of the same story, according to which the goddessgave one brother a needle and a piece of thread, and the other somered betel-leaf which she spat at him out of her mouth; and told one tofollow the vocation of a tailor, and the other that of a dyer.
