I am delighted to inform you about three recent Open Access re-publications on 
Newar Life-cycle rituals including detailed films by Christan Bau at Heidelberg

All there volumes that are still available in print deal with Hindu and

Nepal.They combine extensive fieldwork with the editing and translation of 
relevant ritual manuals. The research was carried out under the auspices of the 
Collaborative Research Centre “Dynamics of Ritual.”
