The image depicts a middle-aged man with dark eyes and brown hair, wearing a red turban on his head. He is sitting down and appears to be in deep thought or contemplation. His clothing consists of a striped shirt that looks like it's made from coarse fabric such as cotton. The background behind him features soft-focused natural scenery which could possibly indicate an outdoor setting. It has a sepia tone, suggesting the photograph might have been taken during the late 19th century when autochrome photography was popular for its vibrant colors and ability to create realistic images.

The image depicts a garden scene with classical architecture and statuary. In the foreground, there is a pond surrounded by lily pads and water plants, reflecting some of the surrounding greenery.

A stone statue resembling an Indian deity or mythological creature sits atop what appears to be a fountain structure amidst climbing vines in the background. The figure has large ears, wide eyes, and facial features characteristic of South Asian artistry.

Behind this central garden feature is a white building with classical architectural elements such as columns and arched windows. A walled area contains more statuary and lush vegetation.

The photo appears to be black-and-white or sepia-toned, suggesting it may have been taken in the early 20th century based on its style of architecture and garden layout. The caption indicates that this image is related to the Pan American Union Building and specifically mentions a statue found within its gardens from around 1920-1950.

Overall, the scene conveys an atmosphere of cultural exchange through art, as evidenced by the presence of a South Asian-inspired figure in what seems like a Western-style garden setting.

Out for an Indian dinner tonight, and to a new (to me) restaurant in Bremen: Maharani. As usual I ordered the Lamb Biryani - you can tell how good a restaurant is from their lamb offerings. And I got lamb, not mutton, but lamb.

Another plus point: about thirty different single malt whiskies that I saw in going quickly by. Ordered a Talisker and had to choose between the 10, the 11 and a Talisker Storm.

Definitely going back.

The image depicts a person with dark hair and features typical of indigenous American Indian characteristics, including facial contours like high cheekbones. The individual is wearing what appears to be traditional clothing or garments; specifically, they have on red outerwear that suggests it may be ceremonial attire. Behind the subject's head is an indistinct background which provides no contextual information about their environment.

The photograph carries a vintage quality indicative of early color photography during the late 19th and early 20th century in America. The name "American Indian" along with references to Acoma, New Mexico between 1906-1928 suggests this image may have been taken among Native American tribes living there.

This photograph is part of a larger collection by Arnold Genthe known for his work that includes portraits and documentary photographs depicting various cultures in the United States during those periods. The particular mention "autochrome" refers to an early color photography method, adding more historical context about this image being one of relatively few examples from such technology's era.

The photograph is presented on a website which hosts collections of archival material including artworks like this photo and others related to Genthe’s oeuvre or other significant cultural subjects.

“#Indian people have long known of the #land & our #history & presence here,” said Anne Richardson, chief of the roughly 300-member #Rappahannock Tribe, which is primarily in King & Queen County. “But so often things aren’t considered ‘real’ until they’re found or ‘discovered.’ This validates what we’ve long known.”

This black and white photograph captures a woman performing what appears to be an exotic dance, likely inspired by Middle Eastern or Indian styles. She is dressed in a shimmering costume that features sequins, beads, and intricate patterns on her bodice, waistband, and headpiece. The skirt of the dress extends into an elaborate train with layers resembling peacock feathers, which adds drama to the performance. Her hands are placed firmly on her hips as she leans back slightly, displaying a pose filled with grace and elegance.

The background is nondescript, possibly indicating that this photo was taken in a studio or at a rehearsal space rather than during an actual performance. The focus is solely on the dancer's costume and posture, emphasizing the artistry of both the garment and her dance technique. There are no other individuals visible in the image to distract from the subject.

The photograph carries historical significance as it provides insight into early 20th-century fashion, stage costumes, and possibly cultural performances during that era. The name "St. Denis" could refer to an individual or a group associated with this performance, while "Ruth Gente..." is partially visible but not clear enough for further interpretation.

This image would be suitable as alt text because it captures the essence of the subject matter without relying on color, which often cannot accurately convey such visual information in mo [...]

China denied harassing an Indian woman at Shanghai airport, stating border checks were lawful. The woman's passport was flagged due to Arunachal Pradesh being listed as her birthplace. India lodged a strong protest, asserting Arunachal Pradesh's status as an integral part of India.

Baba Yaga

Her name is often translated as “old woman Yaga.” The word “Yaga” has several possible roots, often looking toward concepts of horror, anger, forest, or illness. She’s from Slavic folklore. She’s seen as a single figure or 1 of a trio of sisters with the same name. She’s got 2 contrasting roles.

In some stories, she’s described as a repulsive or a ferocious-looking old woman who fries & eats kids. In other tales, she’s shown as a nice old lady who helps the hero.

In the stories in which she shows up, she has unique “props”: her hut (izba) stands on 2 giant chicken legs that allow it to spin & move, guarding the entrance. The hut usually didn’t have any windows. The hut is positioned deep in a dark forest. The hut marked the border between the human world & the magical/other world. The surrounding fence is often topped with human skulls whose eyes glow in the dark.

In a famous tale, a young heroine, Vasilisa the Beautiful, is forced to perform a task for Baba Yaga using 1 of these glowing skulls. She doesn’t fly on a broomstick. But she flies in a mortar (stupa), propelling herself with a pestle (toloknya). She used a broom/whisk to sweep away any tracks behind her.

When she’s in her house, she may be found stretched out over the stove reaching from 1 corner of the hut to another. She may sense & mention the “Russkiy dukh” (Russian scent) of those who visit her. Her nose may stack into the ceiling. Some storytellers put emphasis on the repulsiveness of her nose, breasts, butt/behind, or (cough, cough) vulva.

Baba Yaga is sometimes said to live in the Faraway or Thrice-ninth Tsardom: “Beyond the thrice-nine kingdoms, in the 30th realm, beyond the fiery river, lives the Baba Yaga.”

In some tales, a trio of Baba Yaga show up as sisters. They all share the same name. In a version of “The Maiden Tsar,” a handsome merchant’s son, Ivan, made his way to the home of 1 of 3 Baba Yagas. Ivan walks for sometime before coming across a small hut identical to the 1st.

The 2nd Baba Yaga has a conversion with Ivan that was similar to the 1st. Ivan asks the same question that he asked the 1st Baba Yaga. The 2nd Baba Yaga didn’t know the answer, just like the 1st. She directs Ivan to the 3rd Baba Yaga.

The 2nd Baba Yaga gave Ivan some advice: If the 3rd Baba Yaga gets angry with him & wants to devour him, he needs to take 3 horns from her & ask her permission to blow them. Blow the 1st one softly, the 2nd one a little louder, & the 3rd one even louder still. Ivan thanks her & continues on her journey.

After walking some more time, Ivan eventually comes across the chicken-legged hut of the youngest of the 3 sisters turning into an open field. This 3rd, & youngest, of the Baba Yaga makes the comment about the “Russian smell” before running to whet her teeth & consume Ivan.

Ivan begs her to give him the 3 horns. She actually does it! The 1st he blows softly, the 2nd a little louder, & the 3rd louder yet. This causes birds of all sorts to come & swarm the hut. One of the birds is the firebird, which tells him to hop on its back or Baba Yaga would eat him. He does it & the Baba rushes Ivan She grabs the firebird by the tail. The firebird leaves with Ivan, leaving Baba Yaga behind with a fistful of firebird feathers.

She plays several crucial, but contradictory, roles. She is often pictured as a terrifying cannibal who tries to lure kids & heroes into her house & eat them. Or Baba Yaga is a frequent donor figure. After testing the hero (often through impossible tasks), she rewards them with a magical item. Like a self-laying tablecloth or a magical skull or a vital information that allows them to succeed on their quest.

Her izba stands at the entrance to the magical realm. The forest itself is symbolic of the dangerous, transformative space outside of civilized society. To pass her, the hero must prove their cleverness, purity, or worthiness, signifying a necessary set in their maturation.

Baba Yaga is seen as a faded or demonized remnant of an ancient Mother Goddess or Earth deity. This is likely associated with the goddess Mokosh, who represents destiny, weaving, & the fertility of the Earth.

Like the ancient Gree Hecate or the Indian Kali, she embodies the life-death cycle. She’s both the 1 who consumes life (the cannibal) & the 1 who controls fate & initiates new life (the donor of magical help).

She’s often shown to command elemental forces. The appearance of 3 knights – 1 white (Day), 1 red (Sun), & 1 black (Night) – who are her servants, links her directly to the passage of time & the forces of nature.

The hut (izba) on chicken legs & the act of flying in a mortar being linked to early Siberian shamanic practices. Some scholars suggest the chicken legs of the house might be a misinterpretation of the wooden scaffolding used to raise burial or sacred huts off the frozen ground in Siberian regions. Therefore, the hut could represent a portal to the world of the dead or the place where the shaman performs rites.

The hero’s encounter with Baba Yaga is often interpreted as a symbolic shamanic journey or a rite of passage, where the hero must pass away/”die” to their old self to be reborn as a stronger, successful adult.

Baba Yaga is strongly associated with the venerated dead & the underworld (Nav). Her association with skull & bones is a direct link to the realm of the dead. Her hut, surrounded by bones, acts as a dwelling place of the spirits. The hero’s entry into her domain is a symbolic descent into the underworld to obtain necessary wisdom or power.

In this light, she’s the fearsome, protective Guardian of the Dead, whose primary function is to keep the living away from the secrets of the deceased. Only letting the worthy pass.
