About the Book:
This book offers a comprehensive exploration of the institution of niyoga in early India, examining its origins, development, and evolution across time and space. Niyoga, a social and ritualistic practice, is studied here through both historical and sociological lenses, with the primary focus on its early manifestations, while also considering its fluctuations and transformations over a larger period.
By tracing the trajectory of this institution across various periods, the book uncovers the cultural, religious, and social contexts in which niyoga was practiced. It provides valuable insights into how ancient Indian societies addressed issues of lineage, social structure, and family dynamics.
