Hindoo Dance - from a native drawing, 1857. Creator: Unknown.

Hindoo Dance - from a native drawing, 1857. Devotees outside a temple in India. 'The dancing takes place in the open air, and behind may be seen the peculiar architecture of a Hindoo temple, with its superincumbent pyramid. "Duara Suarga," or Gate of Heaven, is sometimes inscribed at the entrance of these buildings. But an intelligent traveller says that the stealthy glances at a horrific group of diabolical idols, the strange noises, and the unequal and lurid flashes of light, when all around is darkness, made it much more like what imagination might picture as the entrance of the infernal regions [ie, Hell]. The form of the dome in our Illustration will forcibly remind travellers of the Pyramids of Sakarah, in Egypt'. From "Illustrated London News", 1857.
