THE Lori

The Lori are the same as the Doms, the hereditary minstrels of Indian origin,

known in Persia and Balochistan under this name Lori, or Luri—that is, probably,
natives of Lur, or Luristan. The picturesque legend told in the ‘Shahnftma’ of
their introduction from India into Persia by Bahram Gor is well known. They are
attached as bards to Baloch tribes, but are not, and do not pretend to be, of
Baloch blood themselves. Their customs and appearance are those of the Doms
or Mirasis of India.
