Reviews

Does a fine job of exploring an important aspect of folk Hinduism, a long neglected field. Touches on both the feminine and water aspects. A nice addition to an upper level syllabus. --Robert Forman, Hunter College Excellent general book and classroom text for Religion and South Asia courses, as well as Anthropology. --H.L. Seneviratne, University of Virginia Excellent work! --Don St. John, Moravia College This superb piece of scholarship is indicative of the maturation of Indian Studies in America--deep, thorough, empathetic description coupled with sophisticated analysis. A fine contribution to our understanding of Indian culture. --Richard Lariviere, University of Texas Feldhaus's scholarship is very impressive....I recommend publication. The work is very readable and nothing like it exists. It is rich, engrossing and meaningful. --Ann Grodzins Gold, Cornell University
