Aditi Rawat –
A fascinating look at Murugan, Gangamma, and Paiditalli. The author has done brilliant work with ritual studies, and the divine feminine and masculine are well presented, however, it could be a little dry.
Adarsh Akula –
A profound exploration of Tamil and Andhra deities! Handelman’s insights into their roles in shaping their worlds are captivating. Definitely recommend!
Tani Gupta –
Intriguing exploration of South Indian cosmology! Handelman’s insights are thought-provoking, though I found some sections a bit dense. Overall, a worthwhile read for those interested in religious studies.
Surya Prakash Sahoo –
This book is a dense but rewarding read. Handelman provides great insight into the Gods and Godesses. Some of the descriptions are a little too detailed though.
Sunny B Joseph –
Handelman’s deep dive into South Indian deities is impressive. I especially enjoyed the sections on ritual. A valuable contribution to the field, despite the slow pace.
Prashant Pradumna Pandey –
While the topic is interesting, the writing style felt academic and difficult to follow. I struggled to connect with the material despite my genuine interest in South Indian cosmology.
Ramandeep Kaur –
I enjoyed learning about Murugan, Gangamma, and Paiditalli, but the book could have used more real-world examples to make the concepts more relatable.
Sakshi Sharma –
I was hoping for a more accessible introduction to the topic. The book felt too scholarly for a casual reader, and the writing could be simplified. It’s an okay read.
