About the Book
This study examines the traditional masks of the Kathmandu Valley, focusing on the Newar community. Despite Hindu political dominance, Buddhism remains a vibrant part of Newar culture, and the masks vividly reflect this dual religious heritage. Representing gods, goddesses, and demons—but never the dead or ancestors—these masks offer a window into the spiritual and cultural life of the Newars. Richly detailed and culturally insightful, this work is essential for readers interested in ritual art, religious practices, and the unique interplay of Hinduism and Buddhism in Nepal.
