Dear colleagues, 

Greetings! 
It is with great pleasure that I share with you the call for papers for a volume on Indian Ascetic Traditions, which I am co-editing with Dr Anjali Duhan.
The volume, tentatively titled Indian Ascetic Traditions: Organisations, Practices, Representations and Social Manifestations, aims to critically examine the nature of asceticism in South Asia. We welcome theoretically informed and critical contributions from a wide range of disciplinary approaches, time periods, and areas (from religious studies, textual analysis, ethnography, visual studies, and the broader Indic studies).
We invite the submission of abstracts of 250–300 words along with a short biography (100 words) including affiliation, research interests, and two to three key publications. 
Submissions should be sent to indianasceticvolume@gmail.com by 31 March 2026.   
Please refer to the attached pdf for further information.

With best wishes,

Daniela
