Whitmore explores the longer story of this powerful realm of the Hindu god Shiva through a holistic theoretical perspective that integrates phenomenological and systems-based approaches to the study of religion, pilgrimage, place, and ecology. He argues that close attention to places of religious significance offers a model for thinking through connections between ritual, narrative, climate destabilization, tourism, development, and disaster, and he shows how these critical components of human life in the twenty-first century intersect in the human experience of place" --Provided by publisher.Natural disastersReligious aspectsHinduismEcologyReligious aspectsHinduismElectronic books. 2013.climate change.commercialization.development.disastrous flooding.ecological context.ecology.environment.himalayan.hindu.hindus.holistic theoretical perspective.human experience.human fault.impact.kedarnath.middle class.natural consequence.phenomenological.pilgrimage.pilgrims.regulation.religious.resident divine powers.ritual.shiva.shrine.statehood.study of religion.tourists.uttarakhand.Natural disastersReligious aspectsHinduism.EcologyReligious aspectsHinduism.294.5/35095451Whitmore Luke1973-1022797MdBmJHUPMdBmJHUPBOOK996312640603316Mountain, Water, Rock, God2429677UNISA
