Mitra, a learned pundit and a distinguished scholar, delves into the history of spirit-drinking in India. Mitra traces the origins of spirit consumption, arguing that the earliest Brahman settlers were a spirit-drinking people, using both soma-beer and strong spirits. The book highlights that wine was publicly sold for both religious and community purposes, with strong arrack being an integral part of important rituals like the Santramani and Vajapaya rites. Drawing extensively from authentic Sanskrit sources, Mitra presents a detailed exploration of wine and spirit-drinking practices in ancient India, with numerous references from later literary works to support his claims.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Cosmo Publications","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":49775104786736,"sku":"DRG.CosmoPub_8129201917","price":175.0,"currency_code":"INR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0690\/9968\/4144\/files\/cosmo-publications-book-default-title-food-and-drinks-in-ancient-india-40776476033328.webp?v=1775944668","url":"https:\/\/www.retailmaharaj.com\/bn\/products\/food-and-drinks-in-ancient-india","provider":"Retail Maharaj","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
