Description
"This book attempts to provide a description and interpretation of the religion of the Hindus as practised and experienced by them. A wholly original exposition of Hinduism, it focuses on Hindu religious psychology and behaviour rather than the mythology, dogmas, and rituals as found in the religious texts. Rejecting familiar assumptions about early Hinduism, Nirad C. Chaudhuri makes a reassessment of its formative influences, and goes on to examine temple and image worship in general, as well as the three major cults of Siva, Krishna, and the Mother Goddess." --Goodreads.
