In these shrines the Hihdoos set
down fantastic idols OF serpents on

to assure their welfare should make
offerings of dough, milk and cooked,
rice to the serpentine habitues of the
shrine and place lights and chant
hymns In order to be assured of their
favor.
Every morning the king and queen
of the serpents Is bathed and fruit
and milk are offered to them, to be
followed at noon by cooked rice and

idols in grove and household temple
