  The inhabitants of the former kingdom of Garhwal, located in north India are deeply devoted to the great Indian national epic, the Mahabharata . This book opens a window on a fascinating (and threatened) aspect of rural Indian life and Hinduism as a living religion, and provides an accessible introduction to the Mahabharata itself.
