3 of 3 people found the following review helpful. Useful to clear up cultural confusionsBy Saritha KomatireddyAlthough it wasn't exactly what I expected; this dictionary is pretty good when it comes to defining cultural terms and names. I use it to decipher lyrics to classical music; and it gives pretty good depth to the concept behind the word. The biggest difficulty is being able to spell and pronounce the word; since transliterating hindi and sanskrit lexicon can be done in many ways. I guess this is the best it can get; though; since it is your only option. In a nutshell: It's useful but sometimes tedious.
