The essays in the volume Consecration Rituals in South Asia address the ritual procedures that accompany the installation of temple images in Shaiva, Vaishnava, Buddhist and Jain contexts, in various traditions and historical periods. Through the performance of complex rites designated with the term pranapratishtha (establishment of, or infusion with, life), man-made sculptures are ritually transformed into (receptacles of) deities. The collection is thematically and methodically broad, with a large number of detailed textual studies, but also with ethnographic contributions that discuss contemporary instances of consecration rituals. Among the overarching themes are issues related to historical continuity and change, as well as transformational moments in such rituals. Contributors are: Marie-Luce Barazer-Billoret, Marzenna Czerniak-Drożdżowicz, Ronald M. Davidson, Shingo Einoo, Marko Geslani, Dominic Goodall, Ellen Gough, István Keul, Elisabeth Raddock, S.A.S Sarma, Anna A. Ślączka, Annette Wilke.

In einer sowohl historisch wie empirisch angelegten Studie werden Aufstieg und Bedeutung der im heutigen Indien überaus populären Gestalt des Affengottes Hanuman dargestellt. Erste Zeugnisse der Hanuman-Gestalt finden sich schon im Nationalepos Ramayana (ca. 300 v. Chr.–200 n. Chr.), doch erst in den letzten Jahrhunderten hat seine Verehrung stark zugenommen. Nach der Beschreibung eines dreitägigen Weiherituals für ein Hanuman-Kultbild in Benares wird die geschichtliche Entwicklung der Göttergestalt und ihrer Verehrung von den Anfängen bis heute entfaltet. Eine empirische Untersuchung erhellt schließlich das Gottesbild und die Motivationen heutiger Hanuman-Verehrer. Dem Band sind Abbildungen und im Anhang u.a. eine Liste von ca. 200 Hanumantempeln und -schreinen sowie ausgewählte Interviews beigegeben. This historically and empirically based study presents the rise and significance of the divine monkey chief Hanuman, who still enjoys popularity in India today. The first accounts of the Hanuman figure are to be found in the national epic the Ramayana (approx. 300 BC–200 AD), but the veneration of it has only grown considerably over the last few centuries. The account opens with a description of a three-day consecration ritual for a Hanuman cultic figure in Benares and then proceeds to unfold the historical development of the divine figure and its veneration from its beginnings up to the present day. A concluding empirical study illuminates the image of the divine figure and the motivations of present-day Hanuman worshippers. The volume contains illustrations and an appendix which includes a list of some 200 Hanuman temples and shrines together with selected interviews.
