Indian Pilgrimage: Ramdevra
- 1974 ----- color ----- 25 min ----- 16mm
- Ramdev, a medieval martial hero and saint, has become the focus of a miracle cult spread by a growing body of folk music. A group of Hindus on pilgrimage from Bombay is followed to Ramdev's gravesite in a Rajasthan desert village. Illustrates both sacred and secular aspects of pilgrimage: the Bombay pilgrims make their collective offering; a woman goes into a trance as the spirit of Ramdev "enters" her; tens of thousands of pilgrims mingle at the fair outside the temple, shopping at the bazaar, listening to preachers, hawkers and devotional singers.
- Topics: (Religions: Eastern, South Asian Studies)
