Mumbai, May 19 (IBNS) Author Shrikala Warrier, a London based scholar, unveils her insightful book 'Kamandalu: The Seven Sacred Rivers of Hinduism'.

The Seven Sacred Rivers of Hinduism’ by Shrikala Warrier draws extensively on the Vedas, Puranas and Hindu epics to present the mythological stories relating to the seven sacred rivers, namely, Ganga, Yamuna, Sarasvati, Sindhu, Godavari, Narmada and Kaveri, the towns and cities along their course that were designated as tirthas, and the practices connected with river goddess worship. The shared concerns of sacred and secular ecology in modern India are also discussed.

Shrikala Warrier is an anthropologist with a Ph.D from the University of London and has developed the first validated degree programme for Ayurveda in the West.

Her book ‘Kamandalu’ describes the 7 sacred rivers in India and their correlation with Hindu Mythology.
