Indian Pilgrimage: the Metaphor of Motion and the Motion of Metaphor

Москва, 2000, 264 p.

This study of the institute of Indian pilgrimage ( in particular motion to Pandharpur, the abode of god Vithoba) is based on the data collected in field work, and extracted from local legends, hagiographies and religious lyrics. The process of spontaneous formation and deliberate transformation of a seven century old tradition is analyzed within the network of the main god, saint-poets, sacred places, priests and ordinary pilgrims. The dimensions of the pilgrimage are scrutinized against the background of general theories of pilgrimage, including interaction with ethnic culture.
