Pots for sacred water, Allahabad, India, ca. 1930

Tinted lantern slide showing pots for holding sacred water at an encampment in Allahabad. The pots are gourd shaped and are sold by traders. A queue of men has formed next to the stall of one of the traders. These pots would be used in Hindu worship. This slide comes from a collection created by missionaries from Regions Beyond Missionary Union, an interdenominational Protestant evangelical mission working in northeast India (Bihar and Orissa) and Nepal.
