Bath house connected to mosque, China, 1936Pickens, Claude L., 1900-19851936Ablutions form a large part in the Moslem's day, so we find connected with each mosque a well equipped, heated bath house. The kettles on the rack in the center are for the minor ablutions used before every time of prayer. Showers are to be had in the cupboards to the left. There is always hot water for use.Also included in the International Mission Photography Archive.still image
