Nasadyah, the Himalayan god of music and dance pervades all segments of Newar society. His presence is manifested in hundreds of temples and shrines of the Kathmandu Valley where he appears as an aspect of the Hindu god Shiva or as its Buddhist counterpart, the Lokesvara Padmanrityesvar. Starting with an evocation of his myths, we will retrace the multiplicity of the forms taken by this fundamentally formless deity. Then, particular attention will be given to his worship as practiced by the Rajopadhyaya, former chaplains of the Malla Kings.
