CONCLUSION APPENDIX INDEXPART IINTRODUCTION: THE BUS TO MANDALAYCalcutta, second largest city in the British Empire, spread along the. Ganges called Hooghly, at the top of the Bay of Bengal.
Calcutta, big. western, modern, with public buildings, monuments, parks, gardens. University, courts of law, hotels, offices, shops. American city; and all backed. Indian town of temples, mosques, bazaars and intricate courtyards. In the courts and alleys and bazaars many little. Bengali. students, in native dress, brood over piles of fly- blown Russian. Rich Calcutta, wide- open door to the traffic of the world and India.
India and the world. Decorous, sophisticated Calcutta, where. Government House Garden Parties, pleasantly to make their. Their Excellencies, and pleasantly to talk good English while. You cannot see the street from Government House Gardens, for the walls. But if you could, you would see it filled with traffic- -motor.
And rolling along among them now and again, a sort of Fifth Avenue bus. Kali Ghat."This bus, if you happen to notice it, proceeds along the parkside past. Empire Theater, the various clubs, St. Paul's Cathedral, past the.
Bishop's House, the General Hospital, the London Missionary Society's. Institution, and presently comes to a stop in a rather congested quarter. Kali Ghat"- -"place of Kali"- -is the root- word of the name Calcutta. Kali is a Hindu goddess, wife of the great god Siva, whose attribute is. Her. spiritual domination of the world began about five thousand years ago.
Kali has thousands of temples in India, great and small. This of. Calcutta is the private property of a family of Brahmans who have owned.
A round hundred of these, "all sons of one. And one of the hundred obligingly. Brahman friend, through the precincts. Let him be called. Mr. Haldar, for that is the family's name. But for his white petticoat- drawers and his white toga, the usual.
Bengali costume, Mr. Haldar might have been taken for a well- groomed. Italian gentleman. His English was polished and his manner.
Five hundred and ninety acres, tax free, constitute the temple. Pilgrims from far and near, with whom the shrine is. There are also priestly fees to. And the innumerable booths that shoulder each other up and down. Rapidly cleaving a way through the coming and going mass of the. Mr. Haldar leads us to the temple proper.
A high platform. roofed and pillared, approached on three sides by tiers of steps of its. At one end, a deep, semi- enclosed shrine in which. Black of face she. Of her four hands.
In the shadows. close about her feet stand the priests ministrant. On the long platform before the deity, men and women prostrate. Among them stroll lounging boys. Also, a white bull- calf wanders, while. He," said Mr. Haldar, "is reading to the worshipers from our Hindu. The history of Kali."Of a sudden, a piercing outburst of shrill bleating.
We turn the. corner of the edifice to reach the open courtyard at the end opposite the. Here stand two priests, one with a cutlass in his hand, the other. The goat shrieks, for in the air is that smell that.
A crash of sound, as before the goddess drums thunder. The priest who holds the goat swings it up and drops it, stretched by the. The second priest. The. blood gushes forth on the pavement, the drums and the gongs before the.
Kali! Kali! Kali!" shout all the priests and. Meantime, and instantly, a woman who waited behind the killers of the. And now a second woman. In this manner we kill here from one hundred and fifty to two hundred. Mr. Haldar with some pride. The worshipers supply. Now he leads us among the chapels of minor deities- -that of the little.

Before them all, little offerings of marigold blossoms. Mr. Haldar leads us through a lane down which, neatly arranged in. All are eager to be.

In. the midst of an open space an oblong pit, dug in the ground. This is now. half filled with sticks of wood.
On the ground, close by, lies a rather. Indian woman, relaxed as though in a swoon. Her long. black hair falls loose around her, a few flowers among its meshes.
Her. forehead, her hands and the soles of her feet are painted red, showing. The relatives, two or three men and a ten- year- old. Crouching at a distance, one old. Five or six beggars like horse- flies nagging about. Now they take up the body and lay it on the pile of wood in the pit.
The woman's head turns and one arm drops, as though she moved in her. She died only a few hours ago. They heap sticks of wood over her. Then the little boy, her son, walks.
