Hindu Feasts Fasts and Ceremonies

The folklore of a country is never so well known even by the folk of the country itself. Moreover there is always a young generation growing up which is waiting to be instructed in it by the easiest and widest possible means.This book gives most excellent work in collecting, arranging and recording in concise and easily assimilable form some of the more noticeable tales, traditions, customs, beliefs, and ceremonies of Hindus. It seems hardly necessary to point out or emphasise how specially valuable to foreign students are these works, and others similar to them. For a general work-a-day knowledge of the Hindus there is no more useful and at the same time more interesting, study than that of current beliefs and practices such as are described in this little volume.
