SUMMARY:Traversing the Historical Religious Geography of India and Nepal
DESCRIPTION:Summary\nAttendees at this session will gain an understanding of India’s and Nepal’s religious geography from the birth of Hinduism through the modern era\, based on a historical approach\, as experienced through an educational trip to these countries during 2024. Travel participants participated in Hindu and Buddhist religious ceremonies\, interacted with other religious groups\, and visited multiple religious sites during the two-week trip. This session will show how South Asian religions developed cultural landscapes\, human-environmental interactions\, and their role in shaping society. Religious sites emphasized in the presentation include Varanasi\, Lumbini\, and Pashupatinath. Additionally\, the presentation examines religion’s role in developing distinct cultural artifacts and architecture\, as well as art and rituals\, during the region’s Medieval era. This session examines primary and minority Indian/Nepali religions and their impact on non-native religions in the two countries\, shaping modern-day religious practices. \nSession Focus\nAll Grade Levels | World History | Hinduism\, Buddhism\, Geography \nConference Room\nIowa \nMeet the Presenter\nWyndham Whynot \n
