Many of the heathen believe their idols are demon possessed."  Two men are worshipping stone carvings of snakes.  One sits cross-legged by them and stares at the ground with his hands clasped.  The other man kneels and has his forearms on the ground with his head leaning on his hands.  This photograph is from an album prepared by W. K. Norton of The Pilgrims Mission, Benares [Vārānasi].</dc:description><dc:format>still image</dc:format></oai_dc:dc>
