Description and curator notes
Examines pilgrimage tourism at the Dakshinkali temple south of Kathmandu, connecting the site’s religious importance with its historical narratives and local economy. The article discusses visitors, temple-related activity, and the opportunities and pressures associated with pilgrimage development. It supplies a concise regional account of a major Kali shrine in Nepal and is useful alongside ethnographic studies of worship and sacrifice. The author’s historical claims should be read as claims made in this regional article, with further archival checking where required. The full nine-page article, including references, is available through Nepal Journals Online.
