Faiths, Fairs And Festivals Of India - PB

About the Book:-In order to perceive how the religions of India have taken shape, it is convenient to trace briefly the history of the principal races which have peopled the country. Through this little volume the author has attempted to bring together the leading features of the principal Indian religions, to describe some of the chief ceremonies and festivals, and, in the last chapter, to give a few notes on the management of a large religious fair. He does not profess to have written much which is original, and this little book may be regarded as a simple summary composed from the works of many learned authors. He trusts that his effort will provide a useful work of reference and enable some of his fellow-countrymen, who have not time or inclination to study what is regarded, by many perhaps, as a dry and complex subject, to gain a slight idea of the religious views held by millions of British subjects in India and thus to sympathize with and comprehend them better.
