About the film:

'GETTING MARRIED, The Wedding of Mahesh and Benela', a film by Prof. Niels Gutschow and Prof. Axel Michaels in honour of Prof. Axel Michaels. Prof. The film documents the main events of a Hindu marriage in Bhaktapur, Nepal in November 2010. It covers the preparation and main rituals in both the house of the bride and the groom. It is the third part of a project within the framework of the Collaborative Research Centre 619, Ritual Dynamics at the University of Heidelberg, funded by the German Research Foundation (DFG). The film is part of the publication, 'Getting Married. Hindu and Buddhist Marriage Rituals among the Newars of Bhaktapur and Patan, Nepal', Wiesbaden: Harrassowitz Verlag, 2012. This richly illustrated book has been highly appreciated by the scholarly community as a unique attempt to provide a comprehensive ethnoindological study of all major life-cycle rituals of a certain Hindu and Buddhist community.
