The Second main sect of Ziegenbalg’s Malabar heatherdom regards Visnhu as the supreme God and follows the practices and doctrines prescribed in Vishnu-related texts. In General its adherents do not smear the ash of cow-dung on their bodies but rather draw symbols for their God on their forehead and other body parts using a particular kind of clay** from the mogual domain that is specially prepared for use as color. These colored symbols as well as signs burned into the skin characterize the outer appearance of the worshipper of Vishnu ~ Page 104
