| Summary: | This book is a detailed account of multi-dimensional perspectives about the goddess Sitala and will hold significance within the arena of religious studies as it is a first of its kind. Other journal publications and books that marginally focus on this goddess tend to be more evasive and ambiguous in their approach to describing the purport for resonating with this particular mother. Ferrari’s writings of the goddess Sitala encompasses information from a variety of sources which include narratives, Indian Literature, sacred Hindu texts as well as perceptions from those that engage in healing practices which offer the reader concrete and verified information as to why and for what purpose this particular Goddess has been worshipped. |
