Narasimha is one of the least studied major deities of Hinduism. Furthermore, there are limited studies of the history, thought, and literature of middle India. Lavanya Vemsani redresses this by exploring a range of primary sources, including classical Sanskrit texts (puranas and epics), and regional accounts (sthalapuranas), which include texts, artistic compositions, and oral folk stories in the regional languages of Telugu, Oriya, and Kannada. She also examines the historical context as well as contemporary practice. Moving beyond the stereotypical classifications applied to sources of Hinduism, this unique study dedicates chapters to each region of middle India bringing together literary, religious, and cultural practices to comprehensively understand the religion of Middle India (Madhya Desha). Incorporating lived religion and textual data, this book offers a rich contribution to Hindu studies and Indian studies in general, and Vaishnava Studies and regional Hinduism in particular.

This study is about a popular manifestation of Islamic devotion that embraces a pluralist setting, keeping itself in a dynamic dialogue with non-Muslim practices. With evidence from various public devotional narratives and ritual practices, the author argues that even universal understanding of living Islam remains incomplete if we do not consider this locally produced pluralised devotional setting that surrounds it. He seeks to address various aspects of local and localised Islam through an examination of Gugudu's local and popular transformation of normative Islam, giving particular focus to the various devotional rituals that blend Muslim and Hindu practices in the public event of Muharram.

Abstract: This study focuses on five temples dedicated to Narasimha that are situated along the Krishna River in the region of Andhra Pradesh, India. The temples are located at Vadapalli and Mattapalli in Nalgonda District, Ketavaram and Mangalagiri in Guntur District, and Vedadri in the Krishna District. Although built during different time periods, the five Narasimha temples function as a religious collective. While some of the temples have been the subject of individual study, the temples as a group have received very little attention from scholars. My research provides the first contextual analysis of the five temples as a group. Religious cults have played a significant role in molding the life and institutions of India from early times. Among the Vaisnava religious practices, the cult of Narasimha, the fourth incarnation of the Hindu god Vishnu, is an important and powerful one. Narasimha, the Man-Lion incarnation, one of the ten main incarnations of Vishnu, came to earth to rescue the world from an evil king named Hiranyakashipu. There are numerous centers of Narasimha worship spread across India. However, Narasimha seems to be particularly popular and important in the state of Andhra Pradesh. Based on original field research conducted in the Andhra Pradesh region, this study documents and examines each of the five monuments separately, and explores the nature of their association as a group of five. Through this investigation, I have identified three prevalent iconographic themes that are associated with the five temples. These are the role of the goddess Lakshmi as the primary shakti of Narasimha, the importance of the Krishna River, and the underlying Tantric affiliation within the Vaisnava ritual practices. Additionally, my findings show that the iconographic program of the five temples and the Krishna River parallels Vaisnava Tantric practices, and correlates the macrocosm of the universe with the microcosm of a yogin's body. Finally, my investigation brings to light previously little known monuments and the devotion to Narasimha that is so prevalent in Andhra Pradesh region. In addition, this study contributes to the broader knowledge about Hindu temple customs, pilgrimage practices, ritual conventions, and local traditions that are associated with Narasimha, through the examination of collective grouping of temples as a phenomenon.
