Singing to the Jinas: Jain Laywomen, Mandal Singing, and the Negotiations of Jain Devotion
Kelting, M. Whitney (Visiting Assistant Professor of Religious Studies, Visiting Assistant Professor of Religious Studies, St. Lawrence University)
The Jain community relies on lay women's participation for religious education, the performance of key rituals, and the locus of religious knowledge. This fieldwork-based study attempts to reconcile these women's understanding of Jainism with the religion as presented in existing scholarship.
