The 
congregation 
of 
the 
gods 
for 
Dashera 
at 
Dhalpur 
Maidan, 
Kullu
and 
within 
subregions. 
Festivals, 
local 
and 
regional, 
are 
the 
centerpiece 
of 
this 
exchange, 
and 
the 
Dashera 
festival 
is 
the 
biggest 
of 
them 
all, 
weeklong 
celebration 
that 
is 
the 
primary 
locus 
of 
the 
annual 
cultural 
calendar 
of 
Kullu.
On 
the 
morning 
of 
the 
first 
day 
of 
the 
Dashera 
festival 
each 
year, 
hundreds 
of 
vis-
iting 
gods 
gather 
in 
the 
large 
grounds 
at 
the 
center 
of 
Kullu 
town 
(figure 
1.1). 
Some 
of 
these 
gods 
come 
from 
as 
far 
as 
150 
kilome-
ters 
away—a 
distance 
to 
be 
respected 
in 
this 
difficult 
Himalayan 
terrain, 
as 
it 
is 
traversed 
by 
foot, 
with 
men 
taking 
turns 
carrying 
heavy 
palanquins 
of 
their 
village 
gods 
from 
their 
far-flung 
villages. 
They 
arrive 
in 
Kullu 
after 
days—sometimes 
weeks—of 
walking,
