[INDOLOGY] Literature on Minakshi and Gauri puja

Wed Dec 27 14:27:01 UTC 2017

I am sure that someone must already have mentioned Rachel Fell 
McDermott's twin books /Mother of my Heart, Daughter of My Dreams//. 
Kālī and Umā in the Devotional Poetry of Bengal/ and /Singing to the 
Goddess. Poems to Kālī and Umā from Bengal/, both Oxford UP, 2001.

Best wishes,
Rosane Rocher //
