Brill’s Encyclopedia of the Religions of the Indigenous People of South Asia Online strives to reflect the diversity of indigenous cultures of South Asia with its many language groups and religious traditions. Religion is taken in a broad sense and includes aspects of morality, symbolism, identity formation, environmental concerns, and art. The approach is contemporary and not a reconstruction of an anterior state, though this does not exclude talking about historical processes.

"This reference work is an invaluable resource for anyone interested in Indigenous religions of South Asia. [...] The volume's general introduction to Indigenous religions in South Asia provides an excellent overview, and the essays, which are based on original research and include maps, photographs, and bibliographies, offer detailed discussions of specific traditions."
