<br/><br/> This volume brings together Sontheimer's English-language articles on Khandoba and the equivalent gods Mallanna in Andhara Pradesh and Mailara in Karnataka. The articles take into account the differing traditions of the wide variety of castes and tribes for whose members Khandoba (or Mallanna or Mailara) is an important god, and make use of the various kinds of source materials that Sontheimer gathered - ovis, oral epics, of the Dhangar shepherds; narratives, comments and statements made by people belonging to various groups, etc.
