Innovation in Traditions of Transformation
The Newar monastic compounds of the Kathmandu Valley (bāhāḥs and bahīs) are the centres of what is arguably the world's oldest continuously practised form of Buddhism.

Monumentality, Identity, and the State
Over the past decade, democratization, economic liberalization, and a new politics of ethnicity have contributed to the emergence of new modes of devotional activities that have been shaping sacred sites in the Kathmandu Valley for millennia. Locally initiated devotional transformations of these sites now threaten the "monumental" integrity of places that UNESCO has designated "monumental zones," and new debates about fundamentally ancient proces…

The terms of argument upon which conflicting accounts agree suggest that esoteric concepts…

They present instances of complex paradoxical relations between value, singularity, and commodity status; indicate t…
