Product Description
This now-classic book provides a description and interpretation of Hinduism, focusing particularly on the religious psychology and behavior of Hindus. Rejecting familiar assumptions about early Hinduism, Chaudhuri provides illuminating insights into its formative influences and looks at temple and image worship as well as the three major cults of Siva, Krishna, and the Mother Goddess.
