In Hindu India both orality and sonality have enjoyed great
cultural significance since earliest times. They have a distinct
influence on how people approach texts. The importance of sound and
its perception has led to rites, models of cosmic order, and
abstract formulas. Sound serves both to stimulate religious
feelings and to give them a sensory form. Starting from the
perception and interpretation of sound, the authors chart an
unorthodox cultural history of India, turning their attention to an
important, but often neglected aspect of daily religious life. They
provide a stimulating contribution to the study of cultural systems
of perception that also adds new aspects to the debate on orality
and literality.
