Music and Temple Ritual in South India: Performing for Siva
explores the musical practices of the periya melam, a South Indian
instrumental temple ensemble of professional musicians. The book is
much more than a rich and vivid ethnographic description of a local
tradition. It also develops a comprehensive and original analytical
model, in which music and performance are understood as both
situated and creative practices and where the fluid relationship
between humans and non-humans, in this case divine beings, is truly
taken into consideration.
