Description
The Muria And Their Ghotul is a comprehensive anthropological examination of the Muria tribe, an indigenous people of India, with particular focus on their distinctive social institution known as the Ghotul. Verrier Elwin, a renowned anthropologist, provides an in-depth analysis of tribal life, customs, and traditions.
The Ghotul serves as a youth dormitory and cultural center where unmarried members of the community gather for social interaction, cultural transmission, and community bonding. Elwin’s detailed ethnographic work documents the social structures, rituals, ceremonies, and daily life within this unique institution.
This seminal work offers valuable insights into tribal anthropology, indigenous cultures, and pre-modern social organizations. It remains an important reference for scholars studying Indian tribal societies, cultural anthropology, and traditional community systems.
