The author has traced the origin from history and mythology of the five principal village deites; viz; Chandi,Manasa,Dharmaraj, Mahadana and Kali and have systematically analysed their pattersn of propitiations,feasts and festivals to illustrate various aspects of life of village folk-inter alia presenting a large number of rural traditions myths and popular beliefs details of numerous rites and rituals right from the starting of the puja festival up to the ceremonial immersion of the deities. In nutshell,the village deities emerge as mechanism for maintaining social solidarity and cultural harmony and cut across high and low segments such as Jal-chal (Castes from which water can be accepted), Jal-achal (Castes from which water cannot be accepted,) Chhut( Touchables ) and Achhut (Untouchables).

Download or read book The Lalita Cult written by V. R. Ramachandra Dikshitar and published by Motilal Banarsidass Publ.. This book was released on 1999 with total page 116 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Lalita Cult has figured and still figures prominently among the countless cults of ancient India. Lalita is looked upon by the Hindus as a divine manifestation of the goddess Durga. The cult of Lalita is intimately associated with the Sakti cult or the worship of the Divine as Energy in the feminine form. The present book studies the cult of Lalita from a historical point of view. Though this study is mainly based on the Lalitopakhayana section of the Brahmanda Purana, an endeavour is made to review other phases of the Sakti cult and its place in Vedic literature, and particularly to examine its philosophical basis. The study also aims to remove certain misconceptions and improved theories which have obscured the true import and value of the Sakti cult.
