More about the book
The narrative explores the mythological significance of the Siddhnath Temple at Vanwar, highlighting the conflict between Vaishnavism and Shaivism. Central to the story is Shiva's battle against Asuras and Shri Krishna, representing the un-Aryanization of Shiva. The tale of Shiva granting sonship to the demon Banasur enhances his appeal among indigenous people. The decline of Sanatan religion amid the rise of Buddhism and other faiths prompted Brahmins to weave these narratives into the Puranas to reconnect with marginalized groups.
