Last Tuesday night' we were visited by one of the worst thunderstorms that have taken place here for many years. For nearly two hours there was continuous lightning, besides which a big wind suddenly got up. One of the flashes of lightning struck the Temple of Hell at which a great feast had been held a fortnight ago, doing considerable damage to one of the idols. Crowds of visitors have since then been gazing with awe at the result of the lightning's play on the above-mentioned image.
