1 online resource (118 p.) Playing God analyses the mythology and ritual praxis of the Muttappan cult and examines attempts to integrate the cult into a wider Hinduism by enunciating a new hermeneutic of the legend and rituals based on the Hindu Advaitic tradition. The book also discussed how the Teyyam ritual contrasts significantly with rituals and worship in Brahminical Hinduism.
