Death in Banaras - Lewis Henry Morgan Lectures
Parry, Jonathan P. (London School of Economics and Political Science)
The Indian city of Banaras attracts pilgrims and mourners from across the Hindu world. It is a place to die, to dispose of the physical remains of the deceased, and to perform various mortuary rites. This book is about the various sacred specialists who serve the dead: how they organise their business, represent death, and interpret the rituals over which they preside.
