Beschreibung
Here and elsewhere offers a grounded study of crucial modes of sanctification and
imagination of Hindu geographies: spatial transposition and substitute pilgrimage.
It looks at the local representatives of the pan-Indian jyotirlin¿gas in Varanasi
(Banaras) and the urban pilgrimage connected to them by combining interpretative
analysis of glorifications (mähätmyas) with in-depth ethnographic research. This
enables the author closely to observe the strategies that a variety of social actors
employ to knit together and reproduce connections between places of the here and the
elsewhere, and to locate deities and themselves within multiple spatial dimensions,
both lived and imagined.
