Editorial Reviews
“This is the second volume of the first comprehensive cultural history of the goddess Durgā. Whereas the first volume was mainly concerned with untangling the complex history and background of Durgā’s worship, ritual, and rise as the Great Goddess, the present volume adopts a more anthropological approach, including fascinating observations based on fieldwork carried out over many years. It not only deals with the worship of Durgā in India (primarily Varanasi, where the author has done most of his fieldwork) but also makes excursions to Nepal and Southeast Asia (Champa, Java, and Bali). The variety of different perspectives is a real bonus.”
—Peter Bisschop, Leiden University
