Description
The Muria And Their Ghotul is a seminal ethnographic work by renowned anthropologist Verrier Elwin. This comprehensive study examines the Muria tribal people of central India and their distinctive ghotul system—a communal dormitory institution that plays a central role in their social and cultural life.
Elwin provides detailed insights into the customs, traditions, rituals, and social structures of the Muria community. The ghotul serves as both a social institution and a space for youth socialization, and the book meticulously documents its functions and significance within Muria society. Through careful observation and ethnographic analysis, Elwin captures the essence of tribal life and the intricate relationships that define Muria culture.
This work remains an important scholarly contribution to anthropological literature and offers valuable perspectives on tribal communities in India.
