Abstract
The following chapter discusses the mapping of sacred landscape and ritual space by the example of a pilgrimage route in Lahaul, India. This area is a place of symbolic and ritual significance for Tibetan Buddhists. The popular pilgrimage route around the peak of the holy mountain Drilbu ri transforms the mundane geography of the region into a manndala, a cosmic diagram and paradigm of the spiritual structure of the universe.
