Instead of looking at them as stories venerating folk gods, Kothari suggests that they can be seen as a medium of perceiving the calendar for the rural population as the Vrat Kathas have specific dates (Tithi and Var). He then further problematizes the idea of village vs. the city. He discusses in detain about the various features of Borunda, where Rupayan Sansthan is situated and delineates different ways in which it could be considered as a rural or an urban space.
