A RAMAYANA OF THEIR OWN: WOMEN'S ORAL TRADITION IN TELUGU

The middle part of the house is a neutral area where men and women meet together. In the back of the house are located a kitchen and a verandah opening into a backyard often with a well in it. It is in this part that women gather. Women visitors, servants and low caste men use the back entrance of the house to gain direct access to the women. ................
