AbstractEste artículo explora el papel del ritual en la formación el estado y la identidad nacional en un momento crucial para la historia de Camboya. En 1957, en muchos países del Asia se celebró el Buda Jayanti, o el aniversario 2500 del logro del nirvana del Buda. Las interpretaciones milenarias de este evento coincidieron con el hecho de que muchos países budistas, entre ellos Camboya, habían logrado su independencia. Realizadas bajo la dirección del jefe de Estado, el príncipe Norodom Sihanouk, las festividades de este país tuvieron gran envergadura. Durante la semana del Wesak, se instaló una reliquia del Buda traída de Sri Lanka en una stupa recientemente construida. El artículo explora de qué manera este evento tuvo importantes implicaciones políticas y religiosas, y sirvió para cristalizar aspectos de la identidad camboyana en un momento significativo.

This article explores the relation of ritual to state and national identity at a crucial moment in Cambodian history. In 1957 the Buddha-Jayanti, or the 2500 year anniversary of the Buddha entering nirvana, was celebrated throughout many countries of Asia. Millenarian interpretations of the event coincided with the fact that several Buddhist countries, including Cambodia, had just achieved independence. Under the direction of the head of state, Prince Norodom Sihanouk, the Cambodian festivities were particularly far-reaching. Taking place the week of Wesak, they involved the instalation of a Buddha relic brought from Sri Lanka in a newly constructed stupa. The article explores the way the event had both political and religious overtones and the way it served to crystalize aspects of Cambodian identity at a significant time.
