The state of Uttarakhand in India's north, home to diverse realms like the Himalayas, Bhabar, and Terai, is embraced by the natural environment. Known previously as Uttaranchal, it's a land steeped in religious history, dotted with temples, earning the moniker "Land of the Gods." It borders areas such as Tibet and Nepal, and Indian states like Uttar Pradesh and Himachal Pradesh. Garhwal and Kumaon are its two divisions, encapsulating 13 districts, with Dehradun serving as the winter capital and the recently declared summer capital of Bhararisain. Historical insights reveal human presence since prehistoric times, connections to the ancient Uttarakuru Kingdom, and the influence of both Shaivism and Buddhism. Post-medieval times saw consolidation under the Katyuri dynasty, then division into the Kumaon and Garhwal Kingdoms, with the British taking control after 1816. Strong bonds between regions fostered during the statehood movement coalesce the diverse culture, language, and traditions of the local Uttarakhandi people. Key takeaways: 1. Uttarakhand, in northern India, renowned for its natural landscapes. 2. Formerly Uttaranchal, it's known as "Land of the Gods" for its temples. 3. Shares borders with Tibet, Nepal, Uttar Pradesh, and Himachal Pradesh. 4. Divided into two divisions, Garhwal and Kumaon, with 13 districts. 5. Rich ancient history, influenced by Shaivism, Buddhism, and British rule.
