DESCRIPTION:A Reimagining of Sikkim’s Sacred Landscapes: Narratives of C
 onflict and Controversy:\nUsing the Buddhist sacred landscapes of Sikkim a
 s a case study\, this lecture examines the relationship between conflict a
 nd controversy in narratives concerning the conversion and establishment o
 f sacred sites. Drawing primarily on ethnographic research embedded in the
  daily lives of Lhopo Buddhists\, the presentation explores the belief nar
 ratives surrounding the transformation of the sacred landscape\, driven by
  both natural and man-made disasters. It aims to demonstrate how local com
 munities negotiate their beliefs and rituals\, adapting to changes by crea
 ting new sacred spaces. In this process\, the materiality of religious pra
 ctices—embodied in altars\, shrines\, and ritual objects—plays a centr
 al role in transforming the landscape. By establishing new physical manife
 stations of their faith\, these communities reshape their environment into
  a conflicted site of religious and cultural significance.
