This is the first volume of a projected three-volume work on the
little-known South Indian folk cult of the goddess Draupadi and on
the classical epic, the "Mahabharata," that the cult brings to life
in mythic, ritual, and dramatic forms. Draupadi, the chief heroine
of the Sanskrit "Mahabharata," takes on many unexpected guises in
her Tamil cult, but her dimensions as a folk goddess remain rooted
in a rich interpretive vision of the great epic. By examining the
ways that the cult of Draupadi commingles traditions about the
goddess and the epic, Alf Hiltebeitel shows the cult to be
singularly representative of the inner tensions and working
dynamics of popular devotional Hinduism.
