The Study on the Hindu Ritual in Maharashtra

在这个项目中，我专注于在印度马哈拉施特拉邦举行的一个印度教祭祀仪式，它被命名为Mangalagauripuja。这份报告包含梵文文本的文献学研究和田野工作。在德干高原的历史上，印度教随着旧时期以来各朝代的变化而传播。特别是在马哈拉施特拉邦，巴克提运动从13世纪开始流行起来。后来，这场运动与马拉塔人的民族主义联系在一起。在马哈拉施特拉邦第二大城市浦那，婆罗门人的传统以及马拉塔人的传统依然存在。上述曼伽罗加里佛仪式由已婚妇女在每年的斯拉瓦那月的星期二举行。曼伽罗加里佛包括九个过程：1)漱口和对毗湿奴的敬拜，2)对众神的敬拜，3)仪式的宣布，4)初步的仪式，5)主要的仪式(崇拜曼伽罗女神)，6)对婆罗门…的礼拜更多的牧师，向女神致敬，朗诵与仪式有关的故事，旋转点燃的灯(Arti)。在1)和2)的过程中，参加仪式的成员净化自己的身体。在3)中，牺牲者履行仪式表演的宣言。在4)中，成员们净化乐器和祭品。在5)，对女神曼加拉古丽和她的丈夫湿婆的供奉崇拜。这里表演的是现代印度教中流行的“十六步崇拜”。此外，还进行了女神形象的沐浴。礼拜仪式结束后，只有女性成员才会听与仪式相关的故事。仪式以旋转点亮的灯(Arti)的动作结束。曼加拉古丽菩萨是为新婚女子祈求婚姻生活幸福而表演的。在这个仪式上，大多数情况下，妇女履行主要职责。这名男子在仪式上只扮演了一个相当次要的角色。此外，在仪式的主要仪式崇拜服务中，除了沐浴女神雕像，这是崇拜服务的16个步骤的一部分，还进行了“为伟大的奉献而沐浴”以及“吉祥沐浴”。根据前面提到的，得出的结论是，水在这一特定的Mangalagauripuja中起着非常重要和主要的作用。较少

In this project, I focused on a Hindu offering ritual performed in Maharashtra, India, which is named Mangalagauripuja. This report contains the philological study of the Sanskrit text and the field work. In the history of the Deccan plateau, Hinduism spread according to the changes of various dynasties since the old period. Especially in Maharashtra, Bhakti movement became popular since thirteenth century. And later the movement was connected with the nationalism of Maratha people. In Pune, the second city of Maharashtra, the tradition of Brahmins remains, as well as the tradition of Maratha people. The Mangalagauripuja mentioned above is performed by the married women every years on Tuesday in the Sravana month.The Mangalagauripuja consists of nine processes : 1)Rinsing of the Mouth and Salutation to Vishnu, 2)Salutation to the Gods, 3)Declaration of the Performance of the Ritual, 4)Preliminary Rites, 5)Main Rites (Offering worship to the goddess Mangalagauri), 6)Service to a Brahmin … More Priest, 7)Salutation to the goddess, 8)Recitation of a Tale Related to the ritual, 9)Revolving a lighted lamp (arti). In the processes of 1)and 2), the members who take part in the ritual purify their own bodies. In 3), the sacrificer performes the declaration of the performance of the ritual. In 4), the members purify the instruments and offerings. In 5), the offering worship of the goddess Mangalagauri and her husband Siva. Here the 'Worship Service in sixteen steps,' which is popular in Modern Hinduism, is performed. Besides, the bathing of the image of the goddess is performed. After the series of the worship service, only female members listen to the story related to the ritual. The ceremony ends with the act of Revolving a lighted lamp (arti).The Mangalagauripuja is performed for the purpose of a newly wed woman asking for happiness in her married life. In this ceremony, for the most part, the woman carries out the main duties. The man has only a rather secondary role in the ceremony. Furthermore, in the main rites worship service of the ceremony, in addition to the bathing of the statue of the goddess which is part of the Worship Service in sixteen steps, 'Bathing for the Great Consecration' as well as 'Auspicious Bathing' are conducted. Based on the previously mentioned, it has been concluded that water plays a very important and principal role in this particular Mangalagauripuja. Less
