The intellectual questions Durba Mitra asks are formed as much from her archival research as from her conversations with women on their experiences of social judgment and subordination and their efforts to challenge strict social norms. Perhaps no one has influenced her more than her own mother, who was open with Mitra, assistant professor of Studies of Women, Gender, and Sexuality and Carol K.

Bhardwaj's in-depth study of the various aspects of the institution of pilgrimage shows that instead of being a simple practice it has been a gigantic phenomenon affecting all aspects of Indian life. Bhardwaj's book is an important step towards the recognition of a social phenomenon which has for millennia played a crucial role in Hinndu integration of religions, nationalities, and international communities.

And, not least importantly, it is highly readable. The implications of Mr. Bhardwaj's study are profound and necessary to the understanding of Indian religion.
