Chiefs, gods of the land and land registry in Nepal
In Nepal, a discreet but omnipresent divinity, Bhume (god of the land and earth), hides, underneath an apparently uniform terminology, multiple ritual practices closely linked to the authority of local chiefs. His cult reflects shifts of power as the installation of a Hindu royal model led to centralization in politics and especially land matters. This centralization has changed the status of local chiefs and taken the wildness out of the Bhume figure. Although tribal communities still worship this divinity, Bhume is becoming more of a god of administrative land registry than of power. Source : Éditeur (via Persée) |
