East Indian Superstition.

Many East Indian people will sit
down in meditation before a grave,
and, by holding their breath as long
as possible, derive inspiration from a
saint. Superstitious women select a
particular grave to which to make their
offerings, and every Thursday night
they either take or send female serv-
ant with an earthenware lamp, with a
cotton thread as wick, which they
burn at the head Of the grave. Often
sweets or flowers are taken as offer
ings, or butter or roghun (ghee) is
burnt in a lamp instead Of oil while
some show their respect by having the
grave sprayed with water during the
summer months.
