These  pictures  are  purchased  by  the  pilgrims  to  the
shrine  of  Jagannath  and  cherished  by  them  as
Souvenirs  of  their  holy  toils.  They  are  painted  in
varnish  colour  upon  a  kind  of  mat  composed  of
rags  tbickly  pasted  together.  The  subjects  are

generally  illustrative  of  the  great  idol  worship  of
Jagannath,  though  other  themes  drawn  from
Hindu  mythology  are  occasionally  depicted.
One  very  favourite  series  of  subjects  is  the  illustration
of  the  various  modes  in  which  the  Jagannath  idol
is  clothed  and  decorated  for  the  different  festivals.
The  making  of  these  rag-mat  pictures  gives  ernployment
  to  about  fifty  men  in  Puri.  The  prices  for
these  pictures  ränge  from  an  anna  to  a  rupee,
according  to  their  size.  It  will  be  seen  that  the
representation  of  the  three  car  figures  is  an
extremely  favourite  subject.  Phe  pictures  are
varied  by  the  introduction  of  the  different  personages
  of  the  Flindu  Pantheon,  characters  from
the  Ramayana,  &c.  In  the  pictures  of  Jagannath,
Balabhadra,  and  Subhadrä,  the  former  is  always
represented  black  and  Balabhadra  white.  Subhadra
is  always  placed  in  the  middle,  supported  on  the
right  and  left  by  the  two  others.

are  not  only  regarded  as  Souvenirs,  but  are  used
as  idols  for  worship.  The  material  of  which  they
are  made  is  a  kind  of  black  magnesian  rock,  Intermediate ­
  in  composition  between  potstone  and
Serpentine,  approacliing  the  former  in  appearance,
but  of  a  less  greasy  grain.  It  is  quarried  at  the
