Abstract

Kullu region in western Himalayas has remained a place of curiosity, imagination and full of narratives due to several factors which are unique in its culture and religion. Its strange rituals, gods and goddesses, traditions remained a field of vast research since long time. Mohra that depicts the face of gods, goddesses, rishis and demons has equally generated curiosity amongst researchers where study done by AlkaHingorani presented a strong case of explorations we need to do on Mohras. Hence, this field survey was conducted in Banjar region to see the mohras lying in various temples of the region. The study tries to explore the depiction of gender and age in mohras along with indigenous elements present in its formative features. The study concludes with the observation that all these faces of gods, goddesses, rishis and demons are not only depiction of age and gender but also involves some level of creativity of workman who was assigned the job of make it. Their workshops where these mohras are being made form the basic center of this depiction.
