Description
Identity of photographer questionable. Note: "Der heilige Tempelteich zum Tempel in Triprangode. Im Hintergrund, hinter den Palmen ist der Tempel hinter einer hohen Mauer. Dort hinter diesen hohen 'unübersteigbaren' Mauern hält sich der Hindu vor den Menschen und Gott versteckt. Aber es wird ein Tag kommen, wo auch die offenbar werden müssen, die sich dort versteckt halten." (Begleitbrief von Dengler mit Bildlegenden, in Schachtel C-30.88). Note translation: "The sacred temple pool in Tripangode. In the background behind the palms the temple stands behind a high wall. Behind these high and 'unclimbable' walls the hindu hides himself from God and man. But the day will come when everyone will see what has been hidden there." (Accompanying letter from Dengler with the caption, in box C-30.88). Stamped: "Museum der Basler Mission, Basel, Missionsstrasse 21."
