Toda: Peri Bhaskararao's Field Notes

Dr. Peri Bhaskararao, Professor Emeritus at ILCAA, conducted extensive fieldwork on the Toda language and rituals in Ootacamund, Tamil Nadu, during the 1990s. His notes offer valuable linguistic and encyclopedic insights into Toda vocabulary and ritual terminology. The copyright of these notes is held by Peri Bhaskararao. In 2023, Masato Kobayashi from the University of Tokyo digitized them, suppored by the grant of IRC.
