Cultural Significance

Jaunsari culture is unique because of its close association with the Mahasu Devta. The language reflects their close-knit community structure and their vibrant festivals like 'Magh Mela' and 'Bissu'.

Unlike Kumaoni and Garhwali, Jaunsari has preserved many ancient tribal words that trace back to the Pandavas' influence in the region.
