| Research Abstract |
It is a difficult task to investigate totally the Indian culture which has a long history, spreads over the Indian subcontinent and whose society displays a complicated stratification. Focusing on, therefore, the analysis of the Hindu annual festivals, this research project has been carried out in co-operation with sanskritists and anthropologists.
1.The Hindu rituals are very different from the preceding Vedic ones in two points : a new method of deity worship of puja was introduced and a certain deity was assinged to a certain day of the lunar half-month. These two points were for the first time recorded in the ancillary literature to the Crhyasutras. 2. The Hindu annual festivals performed on a certain day in a certain month came to be recorded systematically in the Purana texts composed after 600 AD.Some Puranas have a collection of them but others contain their description in the glorification of holy places or in other myths. In these three years more than 90 percent of them have been collected by us.
3. Even in the Purana literature we can find further development. In earlier texts Visnu was assigned to the 12th day but today the 11th day is the Visnu's day. This change presumably occurred about in the 13th century. 4. After the invasion of the Islamic forces a new type of Sanskrit texts called Dharma-nibandha was produced which systematized earlier legal and religious traditions. The Dharmanibandhas belonging to the second stage show the efforts to establish the regional traditions of the places where theses texts were composed respectively. 5. The varieties of the distribution of the Hindu festivals, ranging over whole India, or North or South India, or several states, or a region within a state, can partly be explained by taking into consideration the influence of certain Dharmanibandha.
