Abstract

This book is an extension of Ohri ’ s 2017 doctoral thesis submitted to the Faculty of Behavioural and Cultural Studies of Heidelberg University, titled ‘ The Kingdom Comes: Ritual Politics and Re ﬂ exivity in Mahasu ’ s Himalayan Realm ’ . Ohri refers to Mahasu as a ‘ divine king ’ (xiii) in a remote hill area of the western Himalaya where he ’ s considered a deity. Mahasu is both a king and deity who dispenses justice, collects taxes, owns the land and gives it to people to grow crops on. This entire system is seen by Ohri as a precursor to human kingship. The primary temple of Mahasu is in Hanol, Uttarakhand. Ohri describes Mahasu as four divine brothers: Pabasik, Chalda, Bashik

这本书是Ohri 2017年提交给海德堡大学行为与文化研究学院的博士论文的延伸，题为《王国降临：马哈苏喜马拉雅王国的仪式政治与反思》。奥里把马哈苏称为喜马拉雅西部偏远山区的“神王”（xiii），在那里他被认为是神。Mahasu既是国王又是神，他伸张正义，收税，拥有土地，并将其交给人们种植作物。整个系统被Ohri视为人类王权的先驱。Mahasu的主要寺庙位于北阿坎德邦的Hanol。Ohri将Mahasu描述为四个神圣的兄弟：Pabasik、Chalda、Bashik

期刊介绍： The countries of South Asia - Bangladesh, Bhutan, India, Maldives, Nepal, Pakistan and Sri Lanka - are internally diverse and part of global flows of people, goods and ideas. Contemporary South Asia seeks to address the issues of the region by presenting research and analysis which is both cross-regional and multi-disciplinary. The journal encourages the development of new perspectives on the study of South Asia from across the arts and social sciences disciplines. We also welcome contributions to pan-regional and inter-disciplinary analysis. Our aim is to create a vibrant research space to explore the multidimensional issues of concern to scholars working on South Asia and South Asian diasporas in the postcolonial era.
