| Summary: | This text offers a portrait of Hadimba, a primary village goddess in the Kullu Valley of the West Indian Himalayan state of Himachal Pradesh.

The result is an important contribution to the study of Indian village goddesses, lived Hinduism, Himalayan Hinduism, and the rapidly growing field of religion and ecology. |
