Book Synopsis Clothing as Devotion in Contemporary Hinduism by : Urmila Mohan
Book excerpt: Urmila Mohan draws on her ethnography of Hindu devotional practices in Iskcon, India, to explore cloth and clothing as “efficacious intimacy”, that is, embodied processes that shape practitioners as devotees, connecting them with the divine and the larger community.
