This collection of essays deals with the rituals of kingship and royalty in India, Africa and Europe from the social anthropological and ethno-historical points of view. It discusses the dialectical entanglements of rituals conducted for and by kings (including, 'little kings' and 'jungle kings') with the wider social, political, cultural, historical, religious and economic contexts in which they were embedded.
