Diaspora of the Gods

Description:

From Madras to London, urban middle-class Hindus invest earnings, often derived from the global economy, into the construction or renovation of temples. In both conversation and contention with current theory, this book highlights the Gods, their shrines, and the middle-class people who re-establish them.
