GONDIO RAO looks to have had a career first with a group called "Les Himalayas". He then came over to the U.S. with fellow countryman Perumal Sami, the double-bodied boy, in 1910, '11 and '12. In 1911 he appeared alongside Lukshoni Bai as brother and sister w/ Ringling Bros.
  One fellow collector believes that Gondio may later have been rechristened "A-Go, the Mexican Wonder" (see below)
That would be Gondio on the left and Apexia third from left. The boy with the big head was Munsamy Pillay who was often photographed with Perumal Sami early in Sami's career.

In 1915 the "Himalayan Family" landed at the New York port of Ellis Island with the intention of exhibiting at the Panama Pacific International Expo in San Francisco.  In charge of an East Indian named Bielie or Billie, the group consisted of an older bearded dwarf named Ingoo (Iagoo), and four microcephalics:  Gormdaa, age 57, the Dad and his three kids, Gondia, age 20; Lakine (Lukshana), age 9 and Rangya, age 5.  The group was held up and detained until further investigation determined that after their initial limited engagement years ago, they were warned not to return.
   Billie argued that "science would be greatly benefited" if the family was examined and allowed to stay but the port authorities would have none of it.  They were promptly deported back to Europe.
