Video evening
The ARCH association meets every month in rue Visconti for debate evenings on subjects related to the Himalayan area, whether cultural or societal. The problems linked to the coronavirus led us to organise evenings through Zoom. This formula has the advantage of broadening our audience, which becomes international, just like our speakers. These public events, with a multidisciplinary vocation, allow us to bring together amateurs and professionals: lecturers presenting films or photographs, curators commenting on their exhibitions, authors signing their works, should allow us to confront our knowledge on subjects that we wish to be as diverse as possible.
Initially dedicated to the Himalayas and their cultures, we are now extending our interventions to other areas that may shed light on or have points in common with our initial project.

In Kolu, in the Jodhpur district of Rajasthan, there are the only two temples dedicated to Pabuji, a divine hero incarnated from a Hindu deity in the XIVth century in the Rathore rajput clan. Shunned by the Brahmins, Pabuji is nevertheless worshipped by the nomadic Rebari shepherds of tribal caste. "Only two temples" built, we should say, as a rich tradition of the portable temple, in the form of a painted narrative scroll, the phaṛ, developed. If these nomadic shepherds, who until 30 years ago led their flocks through the Aravalli range and across the Thar desert, could not regularly come to witness their devotion in the hero's village, then the hero had to come to them. This is how the Bhopos, priests-musicians-storytellers-dancers, set off to meet them with their sacred phaṛ rolled up under their arm, and spent whole nights recounting and praising the hero's divine exploits in front of an electrified audience.
