Before they were museum treasures, they were gods. Sculpted for worship, carried by devotion, and revered in temples, sacred images once lived where faith placed them. Today, many sit behind glass—dislocated, collected, claimed. This book asks a haunting question: What do the gods themselves think of their captivity? Through the imagined voices of the Buddha and Shiva—two Nepalese icons stolen, trafficked, and displayed as art—the author explores the moral storm surrounding ownership, repatriation, and the fate of sacred objects torn from their homelands.
