- Title:
- Haribamsa
- Scope & Content:
-
The text here is an adaptation in Sylhét Nāgri script from the original Haribasmsa which, according to scholars, was written by Bhabānanda in the 17th century. It is a love story of Krisna and Rādhā, the Hindu god and goddess. It was very popular among the Muslims of the region of Āssām, for whose benefit it was adapted.
In its cultural aspect, Islam absorbed many of the non-Islamic elements common in the region. One can notice an element of acculturation, expressed through such texts.
The original volume is printed, except for page 71 which is a photocopy. It measures 216mm x 135mm. The title page is missing and the date of the text is unknown. The main text is found on pages 1-148 and this is all that has been copied, along with the front and back covers. The pages are badly damaged from page 124 onwards.
