[440]--A small Telugu caste of weavers, the bulk of whom reside in the Sonpur State, transferred to Bengal in 1905.

The Dheras were brought from Orissa by the Raja of Sonpur to make clothes for the images of the gods, which they also claim to be their privilege in Puri.

Their exogamous groups are named after animals, plants or other objects, and they practise totemism.
