Summary, etc This ethnographic study examines the lives of a Nampūtiri (Nambudiri) Brahmin family in Kerala during a period of social change. It explores how traditional Vedic rituals, family organization, caste practices, marriage customs, and religious beliefs have adapted to modernization while preserving elements of their cultural heritage. The book provides valuable insights into the transition of Kerala's Brahmin community from traditional to contemporary society and is an important resource for the study of South Indian social anthropology and Hindu traditions.
