The author fills a gap in Muharram studies by describing the period's multifaceted nature in a south Indian village, where the focus is on a local Muslim saint named Kullayappa. By emphasizing the shared nature of rituals and narratives, he demonstrates that the period provides benefits for everyone, regardless of caste or creed. It is a refreshing reminder that Muslims and Hindus can live together, despite competing claims of religious authority and authenticity.
