Religion and Folklore of Northern India - Gyan Books
About The Book: Religion and Folk-Lore of Northern India by William Crooke -Drawing from extensive fieldwork during his tenure in the Indian Civil Service, Crooke explores the lived religious practices of rural communities in northern India, emphasizing local deities, ancestor worship, and folk rituals that often diverged from orthodox Vedic traditions. His ethnographic approach provided a nuanced understanding of popular Hinduism, highlighting beliefs and customs that were previously overlooked by scholars focused on elite religious texts. The work is notable for its detailed documentation of regional festivals, spirit beliefs, and the role of supernatural entities in daily life.
