Hardcover. Zustand: New. 1st Edition. Contents: 1. Introduction. 2. Hindu Rituals in Bengal. 3. Vaisnavism. 4. The Cycles of Laksmi Worship. 5. Dangerous Goddesses. 6. Siva, Surya and Dharma. 7. Brata Rites: Sasthi, Tarini and Mangal Candi. 8. Conclusion. An expression common among Bengali Hindus says baro mase, tero parban, in twelve months there are thirteen festivals. While each of these occasions is built around the worship of a particular god or goddess, they are also performances where setting, attire, ornamentation, recitation, music, and sometimes theater are brought together.

Previous books in this series have described and analyzed the axial rituals in the annual cycle in the village of Kelomal, Purba Medinipur, West Bengal.

Kali Puja. 7. Jagaddhatri Puja. 8. The Night of the Gods. Durga Puja is the most visible annual event in West Bengal. This ethnographic account shows that Durga Puja in the countryside was a very different event from the modern version of the puja, one that symbolized legitimacy and counterposed generous redistribution against the ruthless collection of revenues. The offerings and sacrifices that were integral to the traditional pujas provided communion for the landholding families as well as their dependents in the community. Among the many features of the puja that are peculiar to Bengal is the notion that autumn is the night of the gods when worship is untimely , that spring is the proper time for the observance.…
