Popular Hinduism is shaped, above all, by worship of a multitude of powerful divine beings - a superabundance indicated by the proverbial total of 330 million gods and goddesses. This title combines ethnographic case studies with comparative anthropological analysis and draws on textual and historical scholarship as well.
