Book Description
This book offers a detailed study of the oral narrative of Shri Devnarayan along
with the first English translation of this popular Rajasthani folk narrative.

to the study of Indian folk culture and Hinduism as a whole: How is orality
conceptualized and practiced? What is the relationship between spoken and visual
signs? How do Devnarayan's devotees create
