The book brings to light the little known, and often marginalized, lives of female Hindu sadhus in the North Indian state of Rajasthan. It offers a new perspective on the practice of asceticism in India today, a phenomenon the author refers to as “vernacular asceticism.” Examining the everyday religious worlds and practices of primarily “unlettered” female sadhus, whose ages cut across the lifespan and who come from a variety of castes, the book illustrates that the female sadhus interviewed by the author experience asceticism in relational and celebratory ways and view their lives as a path of singing to God.
