Religion has long been a powerful cultural, social, and political
force in the Himalaya. Increased economic and cultural flows,
growth in tourism, and new forms of governance and media, however,
have brought significant changes to the religious traditions of the
region in the twentieth and twenty-first centuries. This book
presents detailed case studies of lived religion in the Himalaya in
this context of rapid change to offer intra-regional perspectives
on the ways in which lived religions are being re-configured or
re-imagined. Based on original fieldwork, this book documents
understudied forms of religion in the region and presents unique
perspectives on the phenomenon and experience of religion,
discussing why, when, and where practices, discourses, and the
category of religion itself, are engaged by varying communities in
the region. It yields fruitful insights into both the religious
traditions and lived human experiences of Himalayan peoples in the
modern era. Presenting new research and perspectives on the
Himalayan region, this book should be of interest to students and
scholars of South Asian Studies, Religious Studies, and Modernity.
