Note 59 — The Sixteenth New Year’s Feast after the Auspicious Accession

See I.G., XIV. 86, and Jarrett, II. 314 and n. 1. Jarrett states that Jwālā Mukhī is two days’ journey from Kāngṛa. Apparently Jahāngīr took his statement from the Āyīn, which has the words “in the vicinity” (Jarrett, ibid.). Jarrett’s statement that Jwālā Mukhī is two days’ journey from Kāngṛa is taken from Tieffenthaler, I. 108. Tieffenthaler adds that the distance is 14 to 15 milles (leagues, or kosses). He speaks of the Fort of Kāngṛa as being only one-fourth of a mille in circumference. The image, he states, was that of Bhowani, and represented the lower part of the goddess’s body. The head was alleged to be at Jwālā Mukhī. ↑
