This book reinterprets Tantrism in Bengal as a living, socially embedded tradition rather than a marginal or esoteric practice. It examines how Tantric idioms shaped devotion, authority, and social imagination through songs, rituals, and embodied experience, revealing Tantra as a dynamic cultural language within Bengal’s religious and historical life.
