Mesocosm: Hinduism and the Organization of a Traditional Newar City in Nepal

"A first-rate anthropological study of Hinduism. . . . The scholarship is clearly of superior quality. There is no study with the [same] kind of comprehensive breadth and treatment.Robert Levy and Kedar Rajopadhyaya show us how to do anthropology at this time in our history."--Triloki N. Pandey, University of California, Santa Cruz "I have no doubt thatMesocosmwill become a classic in South Asian anthropology and Indology--leaving aside its implications for our understanding of other traditional cities in ancient European and Middle Eastern as well as more recent Oriental civilizations. . . . A very welcome and clear ordering of the very detailed and complex material."--Michael Witzel, Harvard UniversityLevy, Robert I. is the author of 'Mesocosm: Hinduism and the Organization of a Traditional Newar City in Nepal', published 1990 under ISBN 9780520069114 and ISBN 0520069110.
