Narasimha is one of the least studied major deities of Hinduism.
Furthermore, there are limited studies of the history, thought, and
literature of middle India. Lavanya Vemsani redresses this by
exploring a range of primary sources, including classical Sanskrit
texts (puranas and epics), and regional accounts (sthalapuranas),
which include texts, artistic compositions, and oral folk stories
in the regional languages of Telugu, Oriya, and Kannada. She also
examines the historical context as well as contemporary practice.
Moving beyond the stereotypical classifications applied to sources
of Hinduism, this unique study dedicates chapters to each region of
middle India bringing together literary, religious, and cultural
practices to comprehensively understand the religion of Middle
India (Madhya Desha). Incorporating lived religion and textual
data, this book offers a rich contribution to Hindu studies and
Indian studies in general, and Vaishnava Studies and regional
Hinduism in particular.
