Summary
'Guest is God' is an ethnography of the Indian pilgrimage site of Pushkar, which welcomes two million visitors each year. To locals, Pushkar is more than just a gathering place for pilgrims, tourists and hippies - it is where Brahma, the creator god, made his home. It is paradise. The text looks into the local effort to create a brand of Hindu religion that is tailored to its local surrounding but engages global ideas.
