It provides a multidisciplinary look at how documents - ranging from legal deeds to administrative letters - were produced, archived, and used in social and political life. Core Themes and Structure - The volume is organized into five thematic sections that analyze the "social life" of documents: - Diplomatics [focuses on the formal features and typology of documents, including the formation of an "Indic" diplomatic tradition and the role of digital methods in studying these records]; - Documentary Practice [examines how records like the Newari chatas challenge Western chronological historiography and how historical records documented religious sponsorships, such as the renovation of the Svayambhucaitya]; - Legal Practice [this is the largest section, covering topics like debt laws in 17th-century Mithila and the enforcement of Nepal's first legal code, the Muluki Ain of 1854]; - Administration [investigates the role of documents in state bureaucracy, including revenue farming in Kathmandu and the use of British and Gorkhali records by local elites]; - State and Religion [explores the intersection of administrative affairs and religious institutions, such as the role of ascetics in central administration]. The work marks a shift toward studying documents not just as passive sources of information, but as active agents that embodied norms and constituted institutions. It heavily utilizes materials from the National Archives of Nepal, making many previously inaccessible or unstudied records available for scholarly analysis.…

This interdisciplinary volume brings together eight scholars from the fields of archaeology, architecture, cultural anthropology, Indology, and heritage studies to examine this procession across more than a millennium: from the earliest medieval inscriptions to post-earthquake revivalism, from royal patronage and guthi resilience to caste politics and photographic representation. Drawing on unique sources that range from epigraphy, legal and administrative records, ethnography, architecture, and material culture, the contributors discuss how ritual, urban form, and distributed agency converge in a festival that continues to negotiate identity, authority, and belonging in contemporary South Asia. 568 pp. Englisch.…
