FIGURE
1.1.
The
congregation
of
the
gods
for
Dashera
at
Dhalpur
Maidan,
Kullu
and
within
subregions.
Festivals,
local
and
regional,
are
the
centerpiece
of
this
exchange,
and
the
Dashera
festival
is
the
biggest
of
them
all,
a
weeklong
celebration
that
is
the
primary
locus
of
the
annual
cultural
calendar
of
Kullu.
On
the
morning
of
the
first
day
of
the
Dashera
festival
each
year,
hundreds
of
vis-
iting
gods
gather
in
the
large
grounds
at
the
center
of
Kullu
town
(figure
1.1).
Some
of
these
gods
come
from
as
far
as
150
kilome-
ters
away—a
distance
to
be
respected
in
this
difficult
Himalayan
terrain,
as
it
is
traversed
by
foot,
with
men
taking
turns
carrying
heavy
palanquins
of
their
village
gods
from
their
far-flung
villages.
They
arrive
in
Kullu
after
days—sometimes
weeks—of
walking,
