Summary

Description
English: Water-colour drawing of Ramna Kali Temple and hut by Joseph Scott Phillips (1812-1884), dated 29th April 1833. This is from an album of drawings (46 folios) made in 1833 while Phillips was a supernumerary Second-Lieutenant at Dum Dum. They are mostly views, some covering a trip through the Sunderbans to Dacca, in pencil or watercolor, with a few removed, leaving inscriptions. Inscribed on the reverse of this drawing is: "Establishment of Hindoo Fakirs on the course at Dacca, April 29th, 33. J.S.P. Cold evening after rain. These fellows worship their idols at least 3 times a day with a huge sounding of tomtoms and shrieking of conches. They offer various flowers & fruits with significant gestures & light various small lamps every night on small tombs within their compound. (These tombs are in honour of different saints etc)"
