Based on over a year of fieldwork in Rajasthan, the author Lindsey Harlan interviews more than a hundred women from diverse segments of Rajput society to explore their religious practices, particularly their veneration of the family \u003cstrong data-start=\"768\" data-end=\"779\"\u003ekuldevi\u003c\/strong\u003e (a goddess who represents the ideal wife and protects against illness, poverty, and infertility) and the devotion to \u003cstrong data-start=\"897\" data-end=\"910\"\u003esatimatas\u003c\/strong\u003e (women who have committed self-immolation on their husband's funeral pyre). Through personal interviews, these women recount religious myths, legends, and stories, drawing parallels between their own lives and those of famous Indian heroines. This exploration reveals the women’s perspectives on these religious rituals, offering insights into how their faith shapes their self-perception and understanding of gender and caste. This book is an essential read for those interested in understanding the religious and social dynamics of Rajput women in Rajasthan.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"CALIFORNIA","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":49941607285040,"sku":"Sarat_9780520301757","price":2847.0,"currency_code":"INR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0690\/9968\/4144\/files\/california-book-default-title-religion-and-rajput-women-41291161895216.jpg?v=1775948700","url":"https:\/\/www.retailmaharaj.com\/products\/religion-and-rajput-women","provider":"Retail Maharaj","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
