This article examines the experiences of children born to Devadasi mothers, focusing on their unique perspective in understanding their lives of their mothers within the context of the story, “The Daughters of Yellamma” from the book NINE LIVES. William Dalrymple investigates lives of Nagamma and Alaka, the daughters of a Devadasi mother, Rani Bai. Dalrymple emphasizes the difficulties these girls face as they navigate the complexities of their identities, balancing their connection to the sacred with the societal marginalization they face. The article examines the children’s lived realities, emotions, and perceptions, shedding light on the challenges they face within the Devadasi community and wider society. The research is framed within the Attachment theory which provides insights into the emotional bonds and dynamics between the children and their Devadasi mothers. It examines the intersectionality of their experiences, health issues and socio-economic factors, and the complex interplay of these identities. By understanding the children’s perspective, the article aims to deepen our comprehension of the Devadasi system and its consequences.
