Harneet Kaur is a geographer and urban planning professional whose work lies at the intersection of spatial analysis, cultural geography, and human–environment relationships. Trained in geography and urban planning, her academic and professional journey has consistently focused on understanding how landscapes shape social behaviour, belief systems, and long-term settlement patterns.
Her research experience spans sacred geography, indigenous spatial practices, urban form, and socio-cultural landscapes, with particular emphasis on how environmental constraints translate into cultural norms and philosophical frameworks. She has been involved in multiple research projects, authored academic and non-academic writings, and holds copyrights related to original research-based content and publications.
Beyond formal academia, Harneet’s work reflects a sustained engagement with field-based observation, narrative analysis, and documentation of lived geographies—especially in regions where myth, memory, and land intersect. Her approach is interdisciplinary yet grounded, combining cartographic reasoning, environmental psychology, and textual interpretation.
In Kailāśa: Where Time Stops, Harneet brings a geographer’s eye and a planner’s discipline to one of the world’s most enduring sacred landscapes. Her contribution lies in articulating how geology becomes theology, how spatial form becomes philosophy, and how myth functions as a long-term record of geographic behaviour rather than abstract belief.
