Drawing on personal experiences of Hinduism on the ground, this
book provides a reflective context within which religious practices
can be understood and appreciated. It conveys the rich realities of
the Hindu tradition and the academic approaches through which they
are studied. 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.
