AVATARA
An Ethnographic Study of Himalayan Goddess Worship
Documentary, 25 minutes, India, English subtitles
Set in the cultural frontier zone of the Hindu Himalaya, AVATARA (from Sanskrit, "descent") explores the lived religion of goddess worship (shaktism) in a remote pastoral valley. For her farmer and shepherd followers, the goddess's presence is all too real; quick to anger and ever-thirsty for sacrifices, she haunts them in their dreams and rituals, demanding complete submission as both child-like-friend and motherly-punisher. In this enchanted world of magical creativity, the encounters with the goddess are transient, intuitive events that hold the key to creation and, for those lucky enough to see her, a short lived salvation
