Drwing examples from ritual practice, myth, and sacred texts, the contributors discuss the place of the feminine in the male dominated society of South Asia within the sacred sphere of South Asian religion. The theme is, however, full of contradictions due to differing preceptions on the subject between Hindu, Buddhist and Islamic thought. Thus the volume, contrinbuting to the deabte on feminity in South Asian religion, would also be of interest to scholars dealing with gender in a broader prespective. ISBN: 81-7304-246-2
