  1. Rohit Raj Sinha –

    A beautiful book that delves into the spiritual significance of the masks. It offers a good glimpse into the traditions of Nepal and the culture surrounding them.

  2. Avneesh Kaur –

    A fascinating look into Newar mask traditions. The book is rich with detail but gets a bit bogged down in descriptions at times. Overall, a worthwhile read for those interested in cultural anthropology.

  3. Devesh Sharma –

    A good overview, but felt like it scratched the surface. I wanted more depth, and more stories from those who continue these traditions today. The photos are quite nice.

  4. Akshat Jain –

    I enjoyed learning about the intersection of Hinduism and Buddhism in the Newar traditions. Some sections were a bit dense, but the overall experience was positive.

  5. Hari Om –

    Absolutely captivating! “Gods and Masks” provides a unique window into the heart of Kathmandu’s cultural heritage. The artistry and symbolism are truly remarkable.

  6. Piyush Ojha –

    The book is amazing! I now understand the culture and rituals behind the dance. The pictures are very helpful and detailed. I will be visiting Kathmandu!

  7. Manchi Prasanth –

    The illustrations are stunning! However, I wish there was more focus on the actual dances and festivals rather than just the masks themselves. Still, a good introduction to the topic.

  8. Sanskar Jindal –

    While informative, the writing style felt a little academic. I would have preferred a more accessible approach. The images, however, are excellent.
