On April 27th and 28th, the University L’Orientale of Naples hosted the conference “Studies on Dharma in the Himalayan Region”.
We welcomed many scholars and professors from a variety of disciplines, such as philology, jurisprudence, anthropology, and history of South Asia. The aim of the conference was to discuss and enrich the multifarious understandings of the concept of dharma with a special focus on the area of Nepal from medieval up to the modern times.
The conference gave us the opportunity to learn more about our project’s core topics through a stress on interdisciplinarity, as shown by the diversity of our guests’ fields of expertise.
We are very happy to have set on this adventure together, having had the chance to meet inspiring people from different institutions!
The event was organized by The Śivadharma Project in collaboration with Heidelberg Academy of Sciences and the Institute of Asian Studies of the University of Turin.

We wish to thank all the participants and the people who attended either in-person or online!
