Lajjagauri is perhaps one of India's oldest goddesses with images of her in South Asia dating back to the Indus Civilisation c. 3,000 to 1,500 BC. Her devotees can be traced back even earlier to the Ukraine c. 10,000 BCE. In India, new finds continue to expand the geographical spread of Lajjagauri's devotees, most recently to Odisa.

Produktbeschreibung
Lajjagauri is perhaps one of India's oldest goddesses with images of her in South Asia dating back to the Indus Civilisation c. 3,000 to 1,500 BC. Her devotees can be traced back even earlier to the Ukraine c. 10,000 BCE. In India, new finds continue to expand the geographical spread of Lajjagauri's devotees, most recently to Odisa. Dhere's work on Lajjagauri is based on a tireless pursuit of her image throughout western India. In contrast to the other thousands of Indian goddesses whose images are super abundant, Lajjagauri has become more reclusive as other deities have risen. This work by the towering Marathi cultural specialist Ramcandra Cintaman Dhere is a unique and important study, painstakingly and lovingly translated here by Dr Jayant Bapat.

Autorenporträt
Jayant Bapat holds doctorates in Organic Chemistry and Indology and is an adjunct research fellow at the Monash Asia Institute at Monash University. His research interests include Hinduism, Goddess cults, the Fisher community of Mumbai, and Jainism, and he has published widely in these areas. He is co-editor of The Iconic Female: Goddesses of India, Nepal and Tibet with Ian Mabbett, and The Indian Diaspora: Hindus and Sikhs in Australia. For his work in education and for the Indian community, Jayant was awarded the Order of Australia Medal (OAM) in 2011. Known popularly as Anna, Dhere was a prolific writer on many aspects of the religion in India and on Indian folk culture, especially that of Maharastra. He was second to none in the study of ancient Marathi and Samskrt literature and was responsible for bringing into light many rare and lost manuscripts. In spite of many adversities including constant ill health and lack of financial backing, Dhere produced over a hundred books on the religion of the masses. In spite of its often dense and obscure subject material, Dhere's poetic style of writing attracted not only the literati but the average reader as well. Unfortunately, he wrote mainly in Marathi and occasionally in Hindi.
