Guest is God is an ethnography of the Indian pilgrimage site of Pushkar, which welcomes two million visitors each year. To locals, Pushkar is more than just a gathering place for pilgrims, tourists, and hippies¿it is where Brahma, the creator god, made his home. It is paradise. The book looks into the local effort to create a brand of Hindu religion that is tailored to its local surrounding but engages global ideas.
