Dear all,

A colleague who is not on the list has come across an image of a demon that looks somewhat like these. http://www.thehindu.com/todays-paper/tp-national/tp-tamilnadu/to-ward-off-evil/article2812933.ece and http://www.bigstockphoto.com/image-107226836/stock-photo-horror-demons-faces-of-hinduism-on-carnival-crowd-of-the-popular-desert-festival-in-rajasthan. It also looks like this image of Raktabija http://www.exoticindiaart.com/product/paintings/durga-and-kali-annihilate-raktabija-HD62/

Across the image is some writing that appears to be in Rajasthani. Would anyone fluent in that particular language be willing to look over four lines of text and tell her what they say? 

I've been asked not to widely distribute the image at this time as it is part of a private collection but can send it to an individual. 

Thanks! 

Patricia
