Description
Explore the connection between divine worship and political power in Heroic Shaktism: The Cult of Durga in Ancient Indian Kingship. Published by Oxford University Press as part of the British Academy Monographs Series, this work examines the belief that a true warrior and a good king must worship the goddess Durga. This book provides the first expansive historical treatment of the cult of Durga and its role in shaping the rituals of heroism in India between the 3rd and 12th centuries CE. It investigates how the goddess, characterized by a split nature that is both serenely benevolent and wildly dangerous, promised success in risky ventures and rewards for kings. This study offers deep insight into the ancient Indian practices used to cultivate political power through religious devotion.
