520 ## - SUMMARY, ETC.
Summary, etc. "Folklore of Wells: Being a Study of Water-Worship in East and West" by R. P. Masani is an anthropological study written in the early 20th century. The work explores the significance of water worship across various cultures, particularly focusing on the customs, beliefs, and rituals associated with wells in both Eastern and Western traditions. It aims to illustrate the deep reverence people hold for water and the spirits they believe inhabit these sources, as well as the social implications tied to these customs. The opening of the book introduces the inspiration behind the study, stemming from the author's experiences as the Municipal Secretary of Bombay. It recounts the protests he received from the community regarding municipal orders to close certain wells linked to malaria prevention, highlighting the intertwining of religious sentiment with modern health concerns. Masani reflects on the significance of water in ritualistic practices, illustrating how social customs and folklore hold remnants of ancient beliefs about water as a living entity, often inhabited by spirits. He hints at a more extensive investigation into the various beliefs surrounding water worship that occur not only in Bombay but across different cultural contexts, setting the stage for a comprehensive examination in the chapters to follow.
