Almost 2,800 entries

Covering all the major Hindu practices, festivals, [[belief]]s, gods, sacred sites, [[languages]], and religious [[texts]], this is the most comprehensive Hinduism dictionary of its kind. It contains 2,800 entries on everything from Tantra to temples, from bhakti to Divali , as well as [[biographical]] entries for key thinkers, [[teachers]], and scholars. All entries are clear, concise, up to date, and fully cross-referenced.

With its coverage spanning 3,500 years of Hinduism - from the religion's [[concept]]ion to Hinduism in the 21st century - this brand new A-Z also acknowledges the historical interplay between Hindu [[tradition]]s and others, for example, Buddhist, Jain, Sikh, and Islamic. This dictionary is an invaluable first port of call for students and teachers of Hinduism, theology, Asian studies, or philosophy, as well as the related disciplines of history, sociology, and anthropology. It is also an ideal source of reference for all practicing Hindus and for anyone with an interest in Indian [[religion]]s and [[culture]].
