Subcaste of Bahna.
_Kandh_ .-- Synonym of Khond.

A subcaste of Taonla in Sambalpur.
_Kandhana_ .-- Subcaste of Khond.
_Kandhia_ .-- (A big-beaked vulture.) A sept of Dhanwar.
_Kandia_ .-- (_Kandi_, a shell, also a snake.) A section of Teli in Betul.
_Kandol_ .-- A subcaste of Brahmans, who take their name from the village Kandol, in Kathiawar.
_Kandra_ .-- A small caste of bamboo-workers in the Uriya country, akin to the Basors elsewhere.

Members of the caste are found in small numbers in the Raipur and Balaghat Districts.

The word Kandra may be derived from _kand_, an arrow, just as Dhanuk, often a synonym for Basor, has the meaning of an archer.

It is not improbable that among the first articles made of bamboo were the bow and arrow of the forest tribes, and that the bow-maker was the parent of the modern Basor or basket-maker, bows being a requisite of an earlier stage of civilisation than baskets.
