七星彩开奖 religion teacher to share India field trip

My name is Phil Lagace, and I teach here at 七星彩开奖 through the Religion Department. From the end of this month until mid-December, I鈥檒l be in India conducting fieldwork for my doctoral program.

My plan is to provide the 七星彩开奖 community entertaining and educational updates during this time abroad! My PhD research centers on Ardhan膩r墨艣vara, a Hindu deity split into male and female halves by a vertical axis. Among other things, I鈥檒l examine elaborate temples dedicated to this figure and analyze its place within extravagant Hindu festivals. One such festival, Durg膩 P奴j膩, will begin soon after I arrive in India.

Durg膩 P奴j膩 is celebrated most vibrantly in the city of Kolkata, the capital city of West Bengal. Fortunately, that鈥檚 exactly where I鈥檒l be for the festivities, so stay tuned for a fascinating first field report and expect breathtaking images from this annual celebration!
