Intelligent, clear, humane and often gripping, this book will be of interest to readers who care about place and politics in the United States as well as those interested in South Asia." - Anthony Carter, Deparment of Anthropology, University of Rochester The importance of temple ritual in constituting political dominance in South India has been well documented.
