BOOK LIST
[Books on Religion]
.
This list includes books on the everyday practice of religion in India rather than books on the sacred texts themselves. Both the Ramayanaand the Mahabharataare valuable stories to read because these epic stories form the basis of many dances, festivals, plays, temples, and sacred sites in India.
