Description and curator notes
A historical account of a visit to the Kali temple near Calcutta and a conversation with its chief priest, accompanied by an illustration of the goddess; use with source-critical caveats.
Historical testimony: this travel, memoir or missionary work contains period outsider representations of Kali worship and may contain colonial, racial or religious prejudice. It is not modern peer-reviewed scholarship or a neutral authority on Hindu beliefs.
