Demoting Vishnu: Ritual, Politics, and the Unraveling of Nepal's Hindu Monarchy
Mocko, Anne T. (Assistant Professor of Asian Religions, Assistant Professor of Asian Religions, Concordia College)
Demoting Vishnu examines how the same public ritual that once placed kings at the privileged apex of Nepal's government now in the 21st-century have stopped serving the king, turning instead to authorize party-based politicians.
