EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "Khond (or Kandh) Human Sacrifice" takes us back to the 19th century, offering a glimpse into the world of primitive religions and cultural practices in India. The engraving, created by an English School artist, depicts a solemn moment during a Khond (or Kandh) human sacrifice ritual. The image transports us to an era where non-Christian beliefs were considered uncivilized and comparative studies of different religions were gaining traction. It serves as a reminder of the diversity that exists within Indian culture and highlights the unique customs followed by various indigenous communities. The scene captures our attention with its intensity and mystery. We witness people from the Khond tribe engaging in this ancient religious practice, shedding light on their deep-rooted traditions. Though unsettling for some viewers, it prompts us to reflect on how religion shapes societies differently across the globe. Bridgeman Images has preserved this historical artwork from their private collection, allowing us to explore these lesser-known aspects of Indian history and spirituality. As we delve into this image's details, we are reminded of Asia's rich tapestry of cultures and belief systems that have shaped its diverse peoples throughout centuries past.
