- Synopsis
- Looks at a rage of Hindu activities in a North India village: rituals performed by different castes, an exorcism sequence, a wedding ritual, a Sattya Narain puja, a pilgrimage to the Ganges, and a variety of sequences of daily life. Demonstrates that for a Hindu, religion is not confined to rituals but involves every part of life. Portrays many aspects of caste and the relationship between caste and religion. Contains interviews with, amongst others: a Brahmin landowner; a Chamar exorcist; a wandering Sadhu and a Bhar spirit priest.

They have posted this message on their website: ‘Unfortunately Open University Worldwide Limited has decided that product sales are no longer viable given the reduced funding to Higher Education institutions and diminishing demand for the products we have traditionally stocked. At present the Open University Students Association (OUSA) will continue to sell the "Good Study Guide", and we are in discussion with other possible distributors to continue to make The Open University’s products available for purchase. As soon as we have any information on other channels of distribution we will update this notice’. Some products are still available via second hand dealers on Amazon.co.uk
