Explore a vivid ethnographic portrait of the Tuda people in the Nilgiris

This volume pairs landscape and daily life with ritual practice to illuminate a lesser‑known hill community. This study transports readers to the southern Indian peninsula, detailing the four naads or districts of the hills, the people’s customs, religious practices, and the rhythms of seasons and subsistence. Rich in description, it grounds observations in everyday life while tracing how tradition shapes family, community, and belief.

Picturesque settings of the Neilgherry Hills, including valleys, groves, and high peaks.
Plainspoken accounts of daily work, food gathering, and seasonal cycles.
Insights into ceremonies, mourning rituals, and the role of local priests.
Context for how language, class, and kinship structure life on the hills.

Ideal for readers of ethnography, travel history, and cultural studies of India, this edition offers a grounded look at a distinct hill community and its enduring ways.
