This year there was an entire intercalary month : such are called Laund. There is a procession of all the chiefs to the Chaugan ; and on their return, a full court is held in the great hall, which breaks up with ‘ obeisance to the lamp ’ (jot ka mujra), whose light each reverences ; when the candles are lit at home, every Rajput, from the prince to the owner of a “ skin (charsa) of land,” seated on a white linen cloth, should worship his tutelary divinity, and feed the priests with sugar and milk.
