Mapping and Religious Meaning Making in Hinduism

Contact: George Pati (george.pati@valpo.edu)

This panel seeks to explore a variety of religious cartographies or mappings in Hindu texts and contexts. While mapping is often viewed as a type of pragmatic political or spatial practice, these papers taken together demonstrate ways that map-making functions also as a religious practice, at least in some Hindu texts and lived environments both in India and in the diaspora.
