As an open homage to the great Bobi Bazlen and to his “Note senza testo” (Notes without a text), I offer these notes without a text (not yet published) to Nina Sabnani and to her text “Kaavad tradition of Rajasthan”.
I hope that Nina will have the time to add to the bibliography of her book these 10 texts probably unknow in India. At least I hope that Nina will give to her readers the link : www.francobellino.com
One kaavad in Rome. Since 1791 or before.
It is a real surprise. The handwritten catalogue of the Borgia Museum in Velletri records in 1791 the presence of two wooden painted portable shrines coming from Southern India.
