Hinduism an illustrative introduction

Hinduism by Ganga Somany is an illustrative introduction to this great religious tradition. With an initial attempt to define Hinduism, it goes on to encapsulate many aspects of the religion which originated in the hoary and mythical past. Though having no strict formal divisions, the book deals first with the scriptural parameters of Hinduism, the Vedas, the Upanishads, the Purans, the Ramayan and the Mahabharata-and then with its ritualistic dimensions-the gods and goddesses and their modes of worship, the samskaras and festivals.
