Maîtres du sol et dieux du territoire au Ladakh

Masters of the land and gods of the territory in Ladakh Masters of the land and gods of the territory populate the landscape alongside people in Ladakh, a former Buddhist kingdom along the border with Tibet. Thanks to their ability to act on natural and atmospheric phenomena, they are preferred intermediaries, worshiped as much as feared. Material collected in settled fanning communities in the upper Indus valley serves to provide an account of the diversity of the cults observed for these entities by Tibetan groups. The significance of these cults varies as a function of the group's geographical location, history and way of life
