These essays explore the processes by which gender identities are formalized and ritualized through language, ritual performance, narrative, and politics. They show how gender identities in India have been invented and valued in different historical, religious, and social contexts.

Book Description
Editorial Reviews
Review
"This is a timely and well-written collection of articles covering a variety of time-periods, literature and oral genres, and methodologies. This volume is well suited to upper level courses on Indian religion, especially those with an emphasis on gender and methodology. Individual chapters would augment courses on Vedic literature and folk religion, as well as Hindu traditions." --Religous Studies Review
