How did a diaspora community that was geographically dispersed, and whose members did not share the same religion and ethnicity, create a collective identity? While being open to engage with the larger world it traveled through and incorporating new community members, the Manangi trading community from Northern Nepal was conscious of its boundary at any point in time; its members had a precise awareness of who belonged to the community. This talk explores how intangible cultural heritage such as collective praying rituals as well as construction of religious monuments created the social and material conditions that enabled this diasporic trading community to reproduce itself across a vast geographical space and generations.
