Debi Dhura.

Debi Dhura is one of those quaint
little backwaters of Indian life that
give one a glimpse into the heart Of the
common people of the east-not the
dark and inscrutable ways OF the
oriental sage, but the cheerful every
day mysticism that ties marigold flow
ers around the necks Of sacred cattle
and chatters intimately with all the
gods about the prospects for a good
season.
Debi Dhura would be interesting at
any time Of the year, but the best time
to see it is in late summer. when an
annual festival is in full swing. For
Debi Dhura is local institution OF re-
nown. and its fame has spread through
the land.
The little out-of-the-way shrine
lies in the lower hills, the good granite
walnut grow, and the hot air Of the
plains is tempered by the breath of
the Himalayas. The shrine stands on
the crest of a gentle slope. looking out
over green valleys, and a little stream
trickles by the base of the temple.
The principal attraction Of the Debf
Dhura is damp cave, sacred to the
point where no unbeliever is permitted
to enter 1t. Hence you cannot stoop
under its narrow doorway and COM

They refuse to tell what they have
seen within, and the chances are that
they have seen nothing worth men,
tioning besides the figures conjured up
by their own imaginations, for the
cave must be almost completely dark
inside.
The principal feature Of the summer
festival is a vigorous and stirring
stone battle, such small boys in
