Blowing of a conch shell and and/or ringing of a hand bell and/or singing a song to welcome the evening twilight in front of a tulsi plant is a nostalgic scene from India's past. For the majority of the young Indian population this daily routine is only depicted on picture postcards or in Bollywood movies. Folk songs in this book were recorded in the 1970's. Since independence India has been undergoing fast technological advances a wave of new internationalism is absentmindedly sweeping away rural traditions. Singing and playing of traditional folk songs and ensembles for appropriate ceremonies are becoming less and less popular instead movie songs and modern brass bands are appreciated. Each folk song in this collection is like an artefact in an archaeological museum. These songs tell the story and customs of celebrating life cycle ceremonies welcoming seasons and retelling our mythology. The songs are given in vernacular Hindi language transliterated and translated to facilitate understanding by readers with different backgrounds. The original field recordings have been deposited at the archives and research center for ethnomusicology of the American Institute of Indian Studies at Gurgaon Haryana India where they are available for listening and recording details. 334 pp.

Hardcover. Zustand: New. It is difficult to capture the flavor of Indian daily life without experiencing the richness of the traditions which permeate people's lives. Daily worship of household deities, local shrines, the tulsi plant, mother earth, the rising sun, God's names, ceremonies of the human life cycle, festivals of the Hindu year, pilgrimages, visiting sadhus and folk theater, keep life varied and colorful and raise spirits despite a physically hard existence. This book, informed by actual fieldwork, contains folk stories that are an inseparable part of Hindu feasts and festivals. Festivals studied are those which are celebrated solely or mainly by women and in which stories and paintings are important. The chapters of the book correspond to the festivals and are organised chronologically according to the Hindu festival cycle; an outline of the customs associated with each festival is followed by the stories told during that festival. A book that aims at providing material for better understanding the rich traditions and culture of Indian society.
