Description and curator notes
Chapter XX contains a lengthy first-person Kalighat visit and descriptions of Kali’s iconography and ritual. Strong missionary/colonial prejudices are evident and must be flagged.
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.
Curator source KALI-15-NOV05-014. Metadata, completeness, licence and access claims below are supplied by the 5 November 2026 document, not a new independent verification by this library. Full documents are linked, not reproduced.
