In May the women of India worship a goddess friendly to little babies, named Shus-ty.

They bring the infants to be blessed by some venerable woman before the image of the goddess, whose messenger is a cat.

The women also, not being allowed to meet with the men at such times, have a separate entertainment by themselves.
The month of June is devoted to the bath of Jugger-naut, who was one of the incarnations of Vischnu.
