"... Nine Nights of the Goddess is a masterfully edited and handsomely produced collection of studies of outstanding scholarship on a very popular Hindu religious festival ... This is undoubtedly a scholarly magnum opus on the Magna Mater of Hindu South Asia." -- Nidan "This is a unique collection of marvelously diverse perspectives on one of the most prominent contemporary Hindu festivals. Even those who know much about Durga Puja should prepare to be fascinated by the work of these scholars." -- Patricia Dold, Memorial University, "... Nine Nights is credible research on the nine auspicious nights of the Navaratri. The narrative of the authors and their experiences in conducting the research make the book an engaging text. It is an informative read for those inquisitive about the festival's textual sources and the ways of practicing the festival that may or may not reflect the textual descriptions, making the book a valuable contribution to the existing literature on tradition of Hindu festivals." -- Reading Religion "... Nine Nights of the Goddess is a masterfully edited and handsomely produced collection of studies of outstanding scholarship on a very popular Hindu religious festival ... This is undoubtedly a scholarly magnum opus on the Magna Mater of Hindu South Asia." -- Nidan "This is a unique collection of marvelously diverse perspectives on one of the most prominent contemporary Hindu festivals.

Super impressed with this seller! They had the best price by far for this book! Both the cost of the book and the shipping fee was far better than average! The book came exactly as described, it was well packaged and quite a bit earlier than expected! The seller was polite and replied quickly to my messages.
I’ll definitely make another purchase soon!
Thank you to the seller! Be safe and keep up the great work!
