Trash for Icicle God, 1921

by Labels: , , ,
"Inside the sacred cave of Amernath
In this rocky recess the devout pilgrims strip off their cloths and throw themselves naked on the blocks of ice which here form lingams, phallic emblems symbolic of Siva, the re-creator. The ice mound to the right is covered with the clothing of the pilgrims."

From National Geographic Magazine, Vol 40, 1921.

People have been trashing the place historically for a long time. Trashing is like some kind of tantric ritual there. So, people be allowed to do so in future too. Case dismissed.

I always like to hear back.
However, irrelevant comments and irrelevant links will not be published. Needless to say, same goes for abusive comments and spam.
