For each independent group of human society, its semiotic structure is determined by the geography of the space of residence and national religious and mythological preferences. The paper considers the figurative and symbolic system of religious and ritual performance from the viewpoint of the specificity of the formation of its semantic content providing a case study of individual Nepalese rituals. The author emphasizes the correlation between the Nepalese ritual practice and the historically established sign-communicative system of religious performance, inseparable from mythological postulates projected onto the realities of life.
