Based on the most recent scholarly research, the development of Hinduism is presented from its ancient manifestations in local cults and epic poems to modern-day festivals and customs worldwide. The complex relationship between the multitude of gods, goddesses and semi-devine beings is brought to light in the articles on religion and mythology, while its rich imagery is revealed in the entries on architecture, sculpture, painting, dance and theatre.'' Further articles on food and etiquette and the caste system with contemporary practices are excellent and for anyone visiting India in particular, this is a wonderful exploration. It has 243 largely photograpic, black and white illustrations as well.
