The rebirth of Bodh Gaya: Buddhism and the making of a world heritage site
Geary, David
₹ 795.00
This multilayered historical ethnography of Bodh Gaya--the place of Buddha's enlightenment in the north Indian state of Bihar--explores the spatial politics surrounding the transformation of the Mahabodhi Temple Complex into a UNESCO World Heritage site in 2002. The rapid change from a small town based on an agricultural economy to an international destination that attracts hundreds of thousands of Buddhist pilgrims and visitors each year has given rise to a series of conflicts that foreground the politics of space and meaning among Bodh Gaya's diverse constituencies.
