Description

Through the use of epigraphical evidence, this text brings into focus the activities and identities of the temple women (devadasis) of medieval South India, and suggests new ways of understanding the character of the temple woman, and of the role of women in Indian religion and society. This book shows how the temple woman's economic autonomy, independence and initiative allowed her to negotiate medieval temple politics and establish a role for herself with its own peculiar social and religious significance.
