This book is a detailed ethnography of traditional, predominantly
upper-caste, sequestered Hindu women in the temple town of
Bhubaneswar in Odisha, a state in eastern India. It elaborates on a
distinctive paradigm of domesticity and explicates a particular
model of human wellbeing among this category. Part of the growing
literature in "third wave" or "multicultural feminism", it seeks to
broaden the parameters of feminist discourse by going beyond
questions of individual liberty or gender equality to examine the
potential for female empowerment that exists in the context of
these women's lives. Its aims are twofold: first, to represent
these women in ways that they themselves would recognize; and,
second, to interpret, rather than merely "translate", the beliefs
and practices of the temple town such that their underlying logic
becomes readily accessible to readers, even those unfamiliar with
the Hindu world.
