Dancing the Self: Personhood and Performance in the Pandav Lila of Garhwal
Sax, William S. (Professor of South Asian Anthropology, Professor of South Asian Anthropology, University of Heidelberg)
The inhabitants of the former kingdom of Garhwal, located in north India are deeply devoted to the great Indian national epic, the "Mahabharata". This book opens a window on a fascinating (and threatened) aspect of rural Indian life and Hinduism as a living religion, and provides an accessible introduction to the "Mahabharata" itself.
