Sarala Das

Chandi Purana

A Goddess Goes to War

• Gebundenes Buch

Produktbeschreibung

Essentially, a war story, it presents Durga not only as a goddess in war, but also as a mother figure who tears apart the patriarchal frame in which women are treated as subordinates. Indigenous and secular, the Chandi Purana is a shastra for laymen, a bold step towards fulfilling their right to knowledge.
