  1. Sourav –

    It is a decent book to have, but sometime it felt like Rao is being bias. It is still a good read, but do not take it as a holy grail.

  2. Vaibhav Mishra –

    The subject matter is important, but the book is very academic. Not a casual read. It is a good starting point for the subject.

  3. Rishabh Nayak –

    I enjoyed learning about the rituals and traditions, but I felt disconnected from the women themselves. The book lacked a certain emotional depth for me.

  4. Anwesha Sahoo –

    A powerful and thought-provoking book. Rao’s work is a testament to the strength and resilience of these women. I am so glad i read it.

  5. Hitesh –

    The book is dense and academic, but the subject matter is intriguing. It took me a while to get through it, but I learned a lot.

  6. Dhanush H B –

    It is a great book. Rao’s work is so insightful, it made me think of devotion, tradition, and female agency in a patriarchal society.

  7. Umang Kaur Arora –

    I found “Negotiating the Divine” to be incredibly informative and well-written. It really opened my eyes to the complexities of temple life. Highly recommended!

  8. Jyoti –

    A fascinating glimpse into a hidden world. Rao’s research is thorough, but I wish there were more personal stories. Still, a worthwhile read.

  9. Siddhant –

    Rao does an excellent job of presenting the lives of South Indian temple women. A must-read for anyone interested in religious studies or South Asian culture.

  10. Arijit Debnath –

    An insightful exploration of female agency within a patriarchal system. “Negotiating the Divine” challenges preconceived notions and offers a nuanced perspective.

  11. Keshav Kumar –

    While informative, the writing style was a bit dry. It felt more like a textbook than an engaging narrative. Good content, but could be more accessible.
