The role of kinship in the formation of Janakpurdham pilgrim groups
There are many festivals celebrated by pilgrims and devotees of the Vaisnavite cult in Janakpurdham when between ten thousand and two hundred thousand pilgrims from all over Mithila converge on Janakpurdham to celebrate the dramatic re-enactment of the Ram Lila.
The purpose of this paper is to describe the role of kinship in the formation of groups of Maithili pilgrims who come to Janakpurdham to celebrate a mela.
