Originally, these stories existed in the oral tradition passed down from generation to generation in the form of ballads. The ballads are full of fairies, genies, witches, magic healers, witch doctors and ghosts besides angels in the form of Peer Baba (hermits) and sages. Over the decades and centuries, these stories have inspired folklorists, theatre artists and nautch parties to perform in melas (community fairs), religious events and marriages.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eEAN:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780143474098\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003ePackage Dimensions:\u003c\/b\u003e 7.8 x 5.1 x 0.7 inches\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguages:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Ebury Press","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51229738369328,"sku":"PrakashBooks_9780143474098","price":300.0,"currency_code":"INR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0690\/9968\/4144\/files\/71DBabRz6VL.jpg?v=1774713929","url":"https:\/\/www.retailmaharaj.com\/products\/lores-of-love-and-saint-gorakhnath-indian-folktales-from-the-bhakti-and-sufi-traditions-ballads-of-mystics-magic-love","provider":"Retail Maharaj","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
