The Head Beneath the Altar is the first book to present a wide-ranging study of Hindu mythology through the lens of René Girard's mimetic theory of the sacrificial origin of religion and culture. The book provides a careful reading of Girard's work, drawing connections between his thought and those of his predecessors, contemporaries, and successors, and it examines two Indian epics, the Mahabharata and the Ramaya?a.
