Religious traditions, presented in alphabetical order from Aghoris and Bauls to Vaikhanasa and Varkari Sampraday, feature prominently as one of the anchor sections. Another major section presents a thorough examination of Hindu philosophical traditions, including history, branches, and contemporary aspects.
