Nepal's Vanishing Gods: the fading memory of cultural heritage

  • サマリー

  • Join us on a journey to Nepal, where ancient shrines and forgotten deities tell a story of cultural memory slowly slipping away. Inspired by David Ways’ article The Forgotten Gods of Nepal from The Longest Way Home Travel website, this episode explores the delicate balance between preserving tradition and the forces of modernity.

    We’ll discuss:

    • The Decline of Faith: How the 2015 earthquake and shifting demographics have led to a fading connection with Nepal’s ancient gods and traditions.

    • Cultural Erosion: The impact of globalization, tourism, and misinformation on Nepal’s living heritage.

    • Preservation Efforts: The role of researchers, photographers, and local communities in documenting and safeguarding these traditions.

    • Tourism’s Double-Edged Sword: How tourism can both threaten and revitalize cultural heritage.

    • Lessons for the World: What Nepal’s vanishing gods teach us about preserving cultural memory in our own communities.

    From the bustling streets of Kathmandu to the quiet, crumbling shrines, this episode is a deep dive into the challenges and opportunities of preserving the past in a rapidly changing world.
