Dear Colleagues,

Further to McComas' timely reminder to Purāṇa scholars, I would like to
invite you, if you do not have an excellent paper on the Purāṇas just
waiting to go, to consider the joys of a visit to Kathmandu and a short
discourse on the first or the last poem, by which I mean, of course, the
Rāmāyan or the Mahābhārat (or both, if you are feeling especially peppy).

Whatever panel you plump for, Nepal is a delight for the stomach, as well
as the mind (and the eye). Dal baht, momo, gundruk (my personal favourite),
not to mention all the joys of the very distinctive and delicious Newari
khana, await you.

I am looking forward to seeing old friends and making new ones, so please
do remember that the deadline for abstracts is the end of this month.

Don't miss out.

Best Wishes,

James Hegarty

Co-convenor of the Rāmāyaṇa and Mahābhārata Panel
