Chapter: Clouds Drifting Through a Landscape: Glimpses of Rishikesh

DOI: 10.1558/equinox.41474

Blurb:

This chapter will explore how Rishikesh is represented as one place through the geosemitotics and discourses that construct this small Northern Indian town as unique. However, it will identify how Rishikesh may also be considered as many places through the multiplicity of experiences that different interpretive communities encounter. The chapter will be based on my own personal experiences of visiting Rishikesh over a period of thirty five years, both for personal and academic reasons.
