Studying Hinduism in Practice (Paperback)
Series: Studying Religions in Practice
Expected to ship within 12 - 17 working days

The chapters cover a wide range of topics, including dance, music,
performance, festival traditions, temples, myth, philosophy,
women's practices, and divine possession. The engaging narratives
are accompanied by contextual discussions and advice on such topics
as conducting fieldwork, colonialism, Hindu seasonal celebrations,
understanding deities, and aesthetics in Hinduism. All the entries
are accompanied by photographs and suggestions for further reading.
Too often textbooks and readers are concerned only with texts. This
work greatly embellishes the study of religion with first-hand,
first-person accounts of not only the living traditions, but the
research activity itself as it has transpired in real time. The
book would be a wonderful companion in a course on Hindu
traditions, or a course in Anthropology where field-work is
addressed.
