Fruitful Journeys. The Ways of Rajasthani Pilgrims.
Berkeley. Uni of California. 1988. First Edition. Stock ID #176816 "Unlike most other works on Hindu pilgrimage, Fruitful Journeys begins where the pilgrimmage itself begins: at home, with an examination of local shrines and deities, of local worship and its motivating values among those who also journey to distant temples and riverbanks. Thus pilgrims's special aims and experiences are placed in the setting of their ordinary lives. Highlighted as particularly salient to pilgrims's concerns are several different responses to human mortality found in Rajasthani village traditions."
