Abstract

The paper analyzes the main approaches dealing with the problem of the Devadasi institution in the intellectual field of South India in 1880–1940s. The main focus is concentrated on appearance of the new intellectual paradigm, which was a result of Westernization, and which changed social reality producing the new standards of “norm” and “deviation” in society.
