The author begins the epilogue with a fieldnote, the narrating of which highlights a centrally important point: ethnographers create their own archive during their fieldwork, taking note of those things they deem to be noteworthy. This means, then, that this book does not seek to represent all there is to know about Pushkar, but rather reflects one author’s perspective. The author invites future scholarship in the field both to explore Pushkar further, and to draw comparisons between Pushkar—as represented in Guest iS God—and other pilgrimage places. Finally, the epilogue concludes with a question for the future of Pushkar: what will happen when the young priests and tour guides become adults and have kids of their own? Will they continue on, laboring in the tourism industry? And if so, what will Pushkar look like for future generations?
