A sept of Halba.
_Dhalgar_ .-- A small occupational caste who made leather shields, and are now almost extinct as the use of shields has gone out of fashion.

They are Muhammadans, but Mr.Crooke [439] considers them to be allied to the Dabgars, who make leather vessels for holding oil and _ghi_ and are also known as Kuppesaz.

The Dabgars are a Hindu caste whose place in the Central Provinces is taken by the Budalgir Chamars.

These receive their designation from _budla_, the name of the leather bag which they make.

_Budlas_ were formerly employed for holding _ghi_ or melted butter, oil and the liquid extract of sugarcane, but vegetable oil is now generally carried in earthen vessels slung in baskets, and _ghi_ in empty kerosene tins.
