This book examines the words and actions of people who live in
regions in the state of Maharashtra in Western India to illustrate
the idea that regions are not only created by humans, but given
meaning through religious practices. By exploring the people living
in the area of Maharashtra, Feldhaus draws some very interesting
conclusions about how people differentiate one region from others,
and how we use stories, rituals, and ceremonies to recreate their
importance. Feldhaus discovers that religious meanings attached to
regions do not necessarily have a political teleology. According to
Feldhaus, 'There is also a chance, even now, that religious imagery
can enrich the lives of individuals and small communities without
engendering bloodshed and hatred'.
