generic cialis no prescription

This morning, I was so happy to open my e-mail and read the following letter, sent from India.

Dear Ms. Cummings,

In my continuing research for generic cialis no prescription I came across your blog dated Saturday, July 25th, 2009. The appliquéd quilt you display is a kanduri from Bahraich, Uttar Pradesh, INDIA. The kanduri is used at the tomb of Salar Mas’ud also know as Ghazi Miyan; the saint slain in battle on Krishna Janmashtami (Krishna’s Birthday) in 1033. Hindus and Muslims consider Salar Mas’ud a saint and over one hundred thousand people attend the annual celebration in Bahraich during the Hindu month of Jeth or Jyestha (May – June). The devotees, mostly marginalized castes and tribes, attribute various healing powers to the saint. Kanduri literally translated means tablecloth and offerings are made on this cloth.

Recently, some older kanduris were sold in Jaipur, Rajasthan and many knock-offs began to be made. I include a photo for your comparison.

All the very best,

Patrick

We are grateful to Patrick for this information (and photo). It is always fun when others share information. Now, I can’t wait for his book to be published! Will be watching!
