The World of Courtesans c12.80

c12.80

The *Hudud Alam*, however, does not speak of the courtesans parting with any part of their income and giving it to the priests or to the king. He only mentions that outside the gate of Ramayan, a dependency of Multan, there stood a temple with a copper idol inlaid with gold and held in great reverence. Every day thirty dancing girls went round the idol with drums and tambourines and danced.
