TRAVELETTE

PANDRINTHAN, NOTED TEMPLE.
DANDRINTHAN is a deserted and
1 crumbIlng temple in the pleasant
Kashmir valley. in India Its fate is an
example OF the oblivion that comes to
those who worship false gods-an-
other proof Of the fleeing glory Of
kings who build unwisely.
Long ago Pandrinthan stood in the
heart Of a splendid city-the srinagar
OF history and story A great king
built the temple walls and planted the
willow trees on the shores Of the lake.
Tt was the court or NaEa. the snake
god. Thousands OF dark faced men
and women crossed the tiny bit Of
water 20 lay their offerings and Wor-
ship al the shrine.
But The great king died 1000 years
ago and gr=duauy his city -
crumoled into dust Its uagui ficence
is gone The lettering temple and the
willow trees are the only rem iuders
of the glory OF the past.
The scene is eloquent Of 1000 years
OF neglect. The waters OF the holy
lake are sraguate and black with
slime. The ancient temple is eaten
with decay. The murruur OF the wind
among the aged willows suggest the
echo OF the chant the priests used 20
droue before the altar The stiffness
and des0la-ion remind one Of the adj
monition. Let there be no other g0ds
before me-"
