‘Not in the name of dharma’
The five-yearly mass animal sacrifice offered at the festival of the goddess Gaḍhī Māī (Gaḍhī Māī Melā) temple in Bariyarpur, Bara District, in southern Nepal, drew local and international attention in 2009, when news and vivid pictures of the slaughter of thousands of animals circulated globally, giving rise to vehement protests from individuals and animal rights associations. In November 2014, three Public Interest Litigation (PIL) petitions ag…
Sacrifice, violence, resistance
Description of the book In this rich and thought-provoking book, Marie Lecomte-Tilouine provides a detailed survey of sacrifice and violence in Nepal that brings together the results of many years of reflection, writing and extensive fieldwork in western Nepal, accompanied by beautiful photos. Lecomte-Tilouine particularly emphasises the violence of sacrifice, a violence that sacrificial texts tend to obscure or deny, and that anthropological the…
A State Goddess in the New Secular Nepal
This chapter presents findings from fieldwork research on secularism conducted in Nepal between September 2009 and April 2010, made possible by the generous support of the Post-doctoral Newton Fellowship of the British Academy.

It discusses the case and fieldwo…
National Gods at Court
Two Public Interest Litigation cases concerning religious traditions that are closely associated with the Hindu monarchy are discussed. One petition seeks to reform the tradition of the living goddess Kumari in the name of child rights, while the other seeks to prevent the state from interfering in the appointment of priests at Pashupatinath temple. The analysis of these Supreme Court cases shows that Nepali secularism is taking a form which ascr…
The goddess Kumari at the Supreme Court
In 2005 a human rights petition at the Supreme Court challenged the tradition of living goddesses called Kumaris and, in particular, that of the former royal Kumari, who lives a sequestered ritual life until puberty, and who used to bless and legitimate the king once a year. The case went on while Nepal overthrew its king and was declared a secular state in 2007. When the judgment was pronounced in 2008, the goddess was still at her post and now …
Gérard Toffin, Entre hindouisme et bouddhisme
Ce livre offre une vue générale de la religion des Néwar, population composite issue de vagues d’immigration successives dans la vallée de Katmandou. Les Néwar parlent une langue tibéto-birmane, le newari, mais l’influence civilisatrice de l’Inde sur leur culture a été déterminante. L’auteur tente ici de combler une lacune de la recherche sur la religion et la société néwar. Faisant suite à de nombreux travaux qui en ont analysé certaines caracté…
