Traditional uses and folklore ofHypericum in the British Isles

Like most other writers who mention grottoes, Miss Hole has tended to concentrate on the grottoes constructed by children in the London area, but the custom was formerly widespread along the southern coast of Britain.2 The present notes describe how grottoes were made at the seaside resort of Margate in Kent. There are two poi…

In recent years Holi festivities seem to have made a diminishing impact on Kathmandu. Three main reasons can be given …
