BADRINATH IN 1894 FROM
THE HIMALAYA ALBUM BY BOECK
( This is the picture description that is translated from German to English ).
This is a sacred place of pilgrimage for the Hundus at 3087.8 m high above the Alaknanda, a swell flow of the Ganges and belongs to the province Gharwal. Every 12 years there is the pilgrimage particularly on a troublesome course of the Ganges. The publisher did not arrive on this pilgrimage but from Milam on the Utadurha Glacier at the Tibetan border, through the valleys of Girthi and Dhauli Ganga after Badrinat.
It can be seen in the distance, the golden domes of the ancient Templels in which a hardly 1 m tall grotesque but very precious set decor and Siwa stone is worshiped as idol. The pilgrims have seven days to wash their sins in the waters of the Alaknanda glacial stream or in the hot sulfur springs springing here, walk barefoot to the temple and do triple monetary sacrifice: for the Brahmans. By contrast, they received rice grains and flowers that were offered to the idol, and ashes of the fertilizer (cow dung) from the holy temple cows to paint her forehead mark. The temple of Badrinat has wealthy landowning in which the office of chief-Brahmans will be awarded to the highest bidder from the Chauli or Namburi-tribal.
The men in the foreground, weave the wool, who are begotten Bhot-Rajputs, and maintain the departing pilgrims among music a short escort to tremble.
