520 |a In this article, I utilize ethnographic interviews I completed with first- and second-generation immigrant Bengali American Hindu women living in the suburbs of Chicago, Illinois to examine how and why the women I worked with have transformed their maternal predecessors’ home shrine practices. While a growing body of scholarship has thoughtfully valued Hindu women as innovative agents of cultural transmission both within the space of domestic rituals practiced in India, and the public Hindu temples and organizations in the U.S., little attention has been paid to American Hindu women’s agency and ritual creativity as they engage in the intertwined processes of cultural transmission and transformation within their domestic rituals. I argue for a valuing of these women’s transformations to this women-centered tradition not only as an expression of agency, but also a means of homemaking in the U.S., through which women create meaningful and sustainableBengali Hindu traditions and negotiate the roles and realms they are expected to inhabit as women.
