Reviews

This is an outstanding book: very well written, with clear arguments and lively examples. It makes an important contribution to religious studies, to the anthropology of Hinduism and to the ethnography of the western Himalayas. * William Sax, European Bulletin of Himalayan Research *


Author Information

Ehud Halperin teaches at Tel Aviv University. He earned his PhD in South Asian Religions from Columbia University in 2012. He specializes in the study of Himalayan Hinduism and the ways in which religious belief, practice, narrative, social order, and capitalist modernity intertwine in everyday life in the region, especially in the north Indian state of Himachal Pradesh. Halperin's work concerns diverse issues, such as Indian goddesses, Hindu ritual and sacrifice, material religion and agency of divinities, religion and ecology, and lived Hinduism.
