Using a combination of ethnographic data based on the description of shrines and rituals and of popular literature, this book seeks to investigate Hindu `folk` traditions in Rajasthans in Rajasthan (especially cults associated with Ramdev, Jambha, Jasaath, Ali Mata), where the presence of Muslim elements in conspicious.
