About this eBook

 Yellama is a Goddess which has a large following in Maharashtra. The cult of Yeallama has a tradition (now out laws) of in which a boy or a girl is offered to the Goddess. After being inducted into the cult through an elaborate process the boy (jogatee) or the girl (jogateen) take to propogating virtues of the Goddess and to seeking alms (jogva) in the village. At times, a jogtee may dress like a female to symbolize the sons of the Goddess, who became impotent. In such cases they become objects of ridicule. The life of a jogatee does not become ridiculous only due to cross dressing: he is subject to several unjust social restrictions. The life of a jogateen  is no better: she can be an object of sexual exploitation.Turmeric powder plays an important role in the life of a jogatee The title Bhandarbhog made up of two words, Bhandara (a form of turmeric) and bhog (fruit of good and bad experiences), aptly traces the tragic story of Tayappa, who is forced to become a jogatee. He lives almost as an outcaste or an untouchable. The novel brings out effectively the life of a small world of socially condemned people.
