| Summary: | The religious context of death has deep implications in shaping the phenomenon of death for the denizens of Kashi. The present paper argues that religious understanding of death confronts the medical issue(s) in the contemporary scenario. To explore the abysmal religio-cultural underpinning(s) of the episteme of death and dying in the era of hegemonic medical technologies is the purpose of this study. Further, it will discuss the enigma of death and dying and will represent some insights into it from the vantage point of religion. |
