Originating from a single remote region of Himalayan Nepal, called Mustang, Shaligrams are all at once fossils, divine beings, and intimate kin with families and worshippers. Through their lives, movements, and materiality, Shaligrams then reveal fascinating new dimensions of religious practice, pilgrimage, and politics. But as social, environmental, and national conflicts in the politically-contentious region of Mustang continue to escalate, the geologic, mythic, and religious movements of Shaligrams have come to act as parallels to the mobility of people through both space and time. Shaligram mobility therefore traverses through multiple social worlds, multiple religions, and multiple nations revealing Shaligram practitioners as a distinct, alternative, community struggling for a place in a world on the edge. 588 Description based on online resource; title from digital title page (viewed on November 13, 2020). 590 eBooks on EBSCOhost|bEBSCO eBook Subscription Academic Collection - North America 600 01 Vishnu|c(Hindu deity)|xCult. 650 0 Rocks|0https://id.loc.gov/authorities/subjects/sh85114749 |zHimalaya Mountains.|0https://id.loc.gov/authorities/ subjects/sh85060851-781 650 0 Rocks|xReligious aspects|xBuddhism.|0https://id.loc.gov/ authorities/subjects/sh2020003289 650 0 Rocks|xReligious aspects|xHinduism.|0https://id.loc.gov/ authorities/subjects/sh2020003287 650 0 Buddhist pilgrims and pilgrimages|0https://id.loc.gov/ authorities/subjects/sh85017573|zNepal|zMustang (District) |0https://id.loc.gov/authorities/names/n84234091-781 650 0 Hindu pilgrims and pilgrimages|0https://id.loc.gov/ authorities/subjects/sh85060923|zNepal|zMustang (District) |0https://id.loc.gov/authorities/names/n84234091-781 650 0 Sacred stones|0https://id.loc.gov/authorities/subjects/ sh98007288|zNepal|zMustang (District)|0https://id.loc.gov/ authorities/names/n84234091-781 650 0 Śālagrāma.|0https://id.loc.gov/authorities/subjects/ sh91005718 650 7 Rocks.|2fast|0https://id.worldcat.org/fast/1099409 650 7 Rocks|xReligious aspects|xBuddhism.|2fast|0https:// id.worldcat.org/fast/2018073 650 7 Rocks|xReligious aspects|xHinduism.|2fast|0https:// id.worldcat.org/fast/1099445 650 7 Buddhist pilgrims and pilgrimages.|2fast|0https:// id.worldcat.org/fast/840255 650 7 Hindu pilgrims and pilgrimages.|2fast|0https:// id.worldcat.org/fast/957089 650 7 Sacred stones.|2fast|0https://id.worldcat.org/fast/1103196 650 7 Śālagrāma.|2fast|0https://id.worldcat.org/fast/1185154 651 0 South Asia|0https://id.loc.gov/authorities/subjects/ sh85125541|xReligious life and customs.|0https:// id.loc.gov/authorities/subjects/sh00007603 651 7 Himalaya Mountains.|2fast|0https://id.worldcat.org/fast/ 1242048 651 7 Nepal|zMustang (District)|2fast|0https://id.worldcat.org/ fast/1860943 651 7 South Asia.|2fast|0https://id.worldcat.org/fast/1244520 655 0 Electronic books. 655 4 Electronic books. 710 2 Project Muse,|0https://id.loc.gov/authorities/names/ n96089174|edistributor. 776 08 |iPrint version:|z9789463721721 856 40 |uhttps://rider.idm.oclc.org/login?url=https:// search.ebscohost.com/login.aspx?direct=true&scope=site& db=nlebk&AN=2654295|zOnline ebook via EBSCO.
