EXPERIENCE THE SOUL OF UTTARAKHAND
UTTARAKHANDI PROVERBS
“पहाड़ का पानी, पहाड़ की जवानी, पहाड़ के काम नहीं आती”
The water and the youth of the mountains are never useful to the mountains
Water flows down in the valley and the youth go out to cities to earn, are not useful to the mountains

Securing Our Land, Honoring Our Roots
With rapid urbanization, the identity of Uttarakhand faces challenges. The land of the mountains is not just a resource but a legacy. Protecting indigenous rights and ensuring responsible land policies are crucial steps to preserving our culture and heritage.
- भू-कानून: A critical step towards sustainable development.
- मूल निवास: Securing rights for indigenous communities.
- Empowering local voices to shape a sustainable future.
UPCOMING FESTIVAL
Dussehra (Vijayadashami)
Tenth day of Navaratri · UTTARAKHAND
Dussehra (Vijayadashami) commemorates Lord Rama’s victory over Ravana and the triumph of good over evil. In Uttarakhand, it is marked by Ramlila performances (dramatic retellings of the Ramayana), the burning of Ravana effigies, processions, and fairs. Villagers and townsfolk participate in community events, and it’s also a popular time for seasonal markets and family outings. The date moves each year with the lunar calendar.
