Description
Annotation: "Eine Prozession, wie sie sich jedes Jahr Ende Februar zur Zeit des Shiwaratri-Festes (das Fest der Shiwasnacht) 7 Tage lang Abend für Abend abspielt. Der Hauptfesttag ist dann der 7. Tag, der zu einem grossen Volksfest geworden ist. Die Prozession wickelt sich innerhalb des Tempelhofes ab. Man geht dauernd um den Tempel herum, wie ja der Hindu überhaupt immer im Kreis herumgeht & nie 'herauskommt'." Note translation: Does this picture really have the same long annotation as 026 has as note? Stamped: "Museum der Basler Mission, Basel, Missionsstrasse 21."
