Occupation Of Idols.

Occupation Of Idols.
Some strange occupations figure on
Indian census schedules. At the last
census In many villages of Haidarxbad
and the central provinces enthusiastic
and devout enumerators returned the
village shrines and temples as "occu-
pied houses" The occupant was the
idol, whose occupation was stated as
granting boons and blessings, living
on contributions from the tenants"
Other callings returned on the sched-
ules include collectors Of edible birds
nests, receivers of stolen goods,
witches, wizards and COW poisoners.-
