watersheds. In particular, flood disasters have accompanied transformation processes
of the site located on Alaknanda River in the Indian Himalayas. As early as 1894, a
flash flood had a significant impact on the site and the identity of the deity.
Local flood legends gained new topicality with the planning of a hydroelectric power
plant in the vicinity. They became part of debates surrounding the construction

demonstrates how previous controversies framed the public interpretation of two
flood disasters in 2012 and specifically of the ¿Himalayan Tsunami¿ in 2013.
