Visit www.luminosoa.org to learn more. In Mountain, Water, Rock,
God, Luke Whitmore situates the disastrous flooding that fell on
the Hindu Himalayan shrine of Kedarnath in 2013 within a broader
religious and ecological context. Whitmore explores the longer
story of this powerful realm of the Hindu god Shiva through a
holistic theoretical perspective that integrates phenomenological
and systems-based approaches to the study of religion, pilgrimage,
place, and ecology. He argues that close attention to places of
religious significance offers a model for thinking through
connections between ritual, narrative, climate destabilization,
tourism, development, and disaster, and he shows how these critical
components of human life in the twenty-first century intersect in
the human experience of place.
