This mountain pasture is in a wonderful spot. We are in western Hindostan, 350 miles east of the Delta of the Indus, where the land is chiefly a low plain, once the bed of the prehistoric seas. This one mountain on which we are standing, a great knob of granite, rises out of the plain like an island out of the water, its steep sides standing almost straight up to a height of 6,000 feet. The only practicable approaches to this summit are through narrow ravines where the cliffs are broken away. Up here on the mountain top we come into this happy valley, a green cradle open to the tropical sunshine and to the winds from the Indian Ocean. Over yonder where we see those gleams of white between the trees are two beautiful temples of pure marble, and in those temples for more than seven hundred years Jainist priests have kept up the forms of their ancient faith. There was never any large town up here — only a few quiet country folk. Those who come to worship, come often hundreds of miles. It was a bit of oriental sentiment, combined with princely extravagance in the actual work, which made such temples possible away up on this almost inaccessible height. This Indian shepherd belongs to the Jainist sect, and lives according to the faith of his fathers, handed down through twenty-five hundred years. He reverences the great saints or prophets and obeys their precepts to cultivate the virtues of generosity, serenity and kindness to all living creatures. The spinning and weaving of wool has been practised here from time immemorial. Locks of wool are twisted into a continuous thread by means of very primitive spindles and woven by hand on rude looms. The product is often surprisingly good, though it is in other districts of India that the famous textiles are found.
