This book gives a detailed account of two pañcÄyati monasteries, the Kadri Maá¹h of Mangalore where its head’s enthronement is spectacularly performed every twelve years, and the Caughera Maá¹h of Dang Valley in Nepal, the royal foundation of which gives a glimpse of the complex relationships that can exist between monasteries and kingdoms.
