What is it like to be a Hindu? This book invites the reader to share a year in the Hindu calender with a family of Hindus housed in a small, dusty town in Western India. There is a lot to experience; the rituals and festivals, the ceremonies and sacraments, the traditions and history. But between the major events on the Hindu calender, the reader will also learn of the say to day life of the Walker family, at home and abroad, adding an extra domestic insight into the complexities of this major world religion.
