Hardcover. Zustand: New. This book is a compilation of the superstitions and beliefs among the people of Bombay Presidency with the exception of Sind, during the colonial times, regarding celestial objects such as the sun, moon, stars, earth, rivers, etc., and the rites adopted to propitiate these divine beings. The Brahmins served to propitiate the great gods of the Hindu pantheon such as Shiva or Brahma while the lower castes acted as ministrants to the minor godlings. It was usual to consult and be guided by exorcists when epidemics were feared, illness to be cured, or when precautions were required against witchcraft and spells. Another interesting feature of the book is the widespread belief in totemism. It also contains infor­mation about the meanings attached to dreams and beliefs regarding `good` and `bad` omen, widespread belief in witchcraft and the evil eye, rites for bringing or averting rain, the use of amulets, and other beliefs and practices.…

Paperback. Zustand: New. Language: English. About the Book:- The author has prepared the text of The Folklore of Bombay painstakingly. The Presidency of Bombay, which included parts of the Deccan, Konkan and Gujarat are the subject of this book. The book is a full of synopsis of the folklore of the Bombay area. He has gathered together a vast mass of items which he has classified under subject headingssuch as worship of natural objects, tree-and snake-worship, spirit-possession, totemism and animal-worship, evil-eye, dreams and omens, etc. Under each category he cites a large number of beliefs and practices, the material having been partly collected by him and partly derived from the works of other scholars. It is also full of fascinating customs, manners and rites of the people who resided there. Each chapter deals with a different subject covering the religious, mythological, mythical, super-natural, social, health, feminine and agricultural perspectives of this past society.
