Abstract:

Joanne Waghorne, an assistant professor of religious studies, and her husband Dick Waghorne, a professional photographer, documented ritual in modern Hinduism of India. According to sociologist Max Weber, emphasis on religious ritual fades as economic development grows. However, the Waghornes found that ritualism in South India is actually growing.
