Divine
Affairs is an invaluable contribution to pilgrimage studies
in South Asia. Uniting meticulous historical documentation
and ethnographic sensitivity, Ishita Banerjee Dube's scholarship
significantly improves our understandings if the complex ways
religion and politics intertwine in a sacred center. She provides
a detailed, subtle, and compelling portrait of Jagannath -
the Lord of the Universe in Puri - not only as an object of
political manipulations but as the all-powerful subject of
worship.
