Administrative/Biographical History ElementThe New Populations documentation of the Indian Hindu community in South Louisiana consisted of two projects carried out by Daria Woodside in 2006 and 2007. The first was intended to reflect the enduring Indian Hindu culture in the region by way of interviews and observance of religous practice at local temples and homes.The second phase documented the religious festival of Navaratri. This documentation comprised six interviews and recorded observations of local social functions. Woodside wrote the following articles from her research on this project:"
Satyanarayana Puja: A Hindu Prayer Service in South Louisiana" and "
Dancing in the Light: The Nine-Day Festival of Navaratri in South Louisiana".
