“THE FAITHS IN THE WORLD”. A dictionary of all religions and their religious sects. by The Rev. James Gardner. This 19th-century engraving captures the sacred fervor of Hindu pilgrims during the grand annual festival in Hardwar. A towering temple spire rises against the backdrop of rugged Himalayan foothills, while throngs of devotees, animals, and tents animate the riverbank in the foreground. The scene evokes spiritual devotion and the ritual significance of bathing in the Ganges. Drawn by T.C.Dibden, Sketch by T.Bacon F.S.A, and engraved by W. Finden, the image was published by A. Fullarton & Co., London & Edinburgh.
