Description

Folk Religion is transmitted by the common people in any region, place or country from generation to generation. It has great impact upon the political, economic, and cultural development in local areas and continues to satisfy the emotional and religious needs of large sections of the population. The lecture will argue that folk religion in Bengal is organically related to local social structures, the
family kinship system, and to village and community life.
