Overview

Excerpt from Hindu Feasts, Fasts and Ceremonies There is no country in the world, moreover, where such studies are of more importance than in India, for with the Hindu, customs and traditions explain almost every act of his every day life. As a learned writer on the Hindus has well said: With the Hindu, religion is not a thing for times and seasons only, but professes to regulate his life in its many rela tions. It orders ceremonies to be performed on his behalf before he is born, and others after his death. It ordains those attendant on his birth, his early training, his food, his style of dress and its manufacture, his employment, marriage, amusements. It seeks to regulate not only his private life, but also his domestic and national. To treat of the ordinary life of the Hindu is to describe his religion.
