This paper explores the relationship between explicit cultural forms ("symbols") and underlying cultural orientations. It assumes the position that the two are intimately interrelated, indeed inseparable, and further that it is the symbolic forms themselves which are the mechanisms linking underlying cultural orientations to observable modes of socio-cultural action. These points are elaborated through a detailed analysis of one such body of cultural forms, the set of phenomena considered polluting among the Sherpas of Nepal
