Some of the great gray
Cranes with red Necks
were dancing. The dance
was complicated & novel.
They walked straight out
spread wings first then took
a several high steps & whiled
about in a circle. The step
mangements were like a
fallet.
5 at 10' Am. I took a
buttery ride to the Kabaget
temple, a hindu shrine on
the banks of a canal north
of the Maidan. Here I
saw great numbers of
hindus M & F & children.
one of the common sacrifices
in beheading a goat, the
blood which lies in pools
on the stone floor. At the
banks of the canal were many
men women walking about
performed before worship.
