Synopsis
In this study, anthropologist Lina Fruzzetti paints a picture of the activities and rituals governing the life in Vishnupur, a large town in rural West Bengal. Drawing on four years of fieldwork during which she was both an observer and a participant in many of the rituals she describes, the author gives primary attention to women, their daily activities and their marriage rituals. These, she believes, are an important key to the understanding of Indian society as a whole.
