#Ghaghra Area

[ramayantika]

so kuch din pehle mujhe ye sapna aaya tha:-

I was in a temple. Very grand, iskcon jaisa. Main murti thi I think redhe Krishna ki? Or it was shreenathji ki (so that would be shreenathji, yamunaji and vallabhacharya ji)

And koi toh celebration chal raha tha. I was wearing a very plain white and green ghaghra. Aur 2 kanthi pehni thi.(context: mere family ke tradition Jo follow karte hai usme bhakti ke completely initiated log 2 kanthi pehente hai and semi initiated ak. So if I was to wear a kanthi, I'd wear one because complete initiation is a ritual Jo haveli me karna hota hai. I've not had the blessings to get that done yet. ) ( kanthi = tulasi mala)

Okk so hua ye ki sabhi raas kar rahe the, including me. Fir, the pandit ji called me near the murti ka jo area hota hai, and kuch pooja kar rahe hai. As I reached there, I remember some vague part of the dream where mere wo hi kapde, somehow started looking so pretty. Dupatta bohot Sundar se drape karne me help ki kisi ne, someone I think applied kajal on my eyes? I think I'm the main person jo wo Pooja karwa Rahi hai/ or ice been chosen/idk but I'm main character. Halfway through he asks me if I'm honouring the things I should when wearing the kanthi. I was embarrassed but honestly Maine kaha ki nahi kar pa rahi. He just smiled.

So he asked me to remove them, but replaced them with a different kanthi? Like ye thode bade beads se bani thi and it was longer, so he folded it in half and put it over my head. It was like a jaap mala types. All this is happening in front of kanha.

And wo pehenke I felt so at peace. So calm and happy and content. I loved the feeling, and I think kabhi kabhi if I think and try I can still feel a small amount of it <333

This dream was so beautiful and maybe this could be a sign for you like shayad badme kanthi pehenne ka pura chance jald hi mile

What are some differences between Pakistani and Indian fashion? How did the Partition affect clothing?

Hi there, sorry for the delayed reply. And the reply is going to be a long one:)Indian fashion as a term is something I struggle with given the numerous states and regions within the country, each with its indigenous style.  Nevertheless for the purposes of the reply I will take into account the three largely visible pan-Indian styles i.e. the saree, the ghagra and the salwar/churidar/trouser + kurta.

Rather than seeing it as Pakistan/India, broadly I think the northwestern part of the subcontinent is a “trouser” culture while elsewhere the wrap/skirt is predominant (apologies for using the English terms, I use it just as a means of classification and I am sure most readers can relate it to local terms like salwar, ghaghra, lehenga etc.).

While cultures like Awadh, Bhopal, Hyderabad represent a fusion of several styles and favour trousers,  I think it can be said that the north of India (present day and pre Independence) is where the contemporary styles we wear originate.  As an example that I always give, Khazanchi made in 1941 was one of the first Lahore productions that found a large Indian audience. That film made the salwar kameez popular and not for no reason is it often referred to as a Punjabi suit in many parts of India. The newly popular palazzo and pant styles in many parts of India also I am sure owe much to contemporary Pakistani/North Indian fashions.

But of course there are variations in this basic template - for e.g. my Delhi friends find Mumbai versions of the kameez and trousers unwearable:) In the South it took a long time to overcome the taboo on divided clothing like the salwar and though that taboo is no longer there garments like the maxi and long skirts are also popular.  Furthermore I think the choice of fabric makes a difference - some Indian handlooms for e.g. are intended to give a “saree” feel given borders, fitted blouse like area for the kurta etc.Styles I rarely see in Pakistani fashion.

So on the whole due to various reasons (including the cinema) I would say that Indian fashion draws on Northern Indian trends (which in turn I think are not dissimilar to Pakistani styles) and mixes it with a whole lot of other Indian styles like the saree and lehenga.  However, I think post partition the states that had a common culture with Pakistan (e.g. Punjab) have also evolved differently. Not wholly but to some extent.  The gharara/sharara for e.g. appear to be more popular in Pakistan than in Northern India - for the former it appears linked to identity whereas in Northern India it probably has a revival now and then.

Re Pakistan post partition, I rely mostly on visual material so its not a “lived” experience of fashion unlike my take on India. Nevertheless it does appear to me that it is a mix of prevalent local styles as well as a conscious attempt at creating styles that represent Pakistani identity for e.g. the adoption of the gharara as a national dress  Furthermore I am sure regional influences within Pakistan as well as the influence of countries to its West (Iran, Turkey) also play a role in creating differences in the way style evolves on either side of the border. 

 As for styles over the decades, I think - like the saree - the Pakistani dress silhouette often reflects international trends (like the sleek styles of the 60s or the more boxy styles of the 80s) but stays faithful to the basic trouser/kameez template. With this template - in my opinion - it is far more adventurous and creative in creating a whole lot of variations. At least that is the impression I get when I see Pakistani suit materials in the middle east that provide a pattern for the suit - there seem to be endless variations possible for the trouser. As well as the kameez which artfully combines a lot of fabric pieces. Plus Pakistanis also seem to be more partial to the dupatta and seem to have a lot more drape styles. On the whole to me the major innovations in India for the most part happen with the saree and lehenga. While Pakistan seems to experiment with and produce far more variations with the trouser/tunic combo.

I’m in the northern part of India

A good place for dragons!

Forgive me if my knowledge of northern India is lacking, but as far as I can tell the states in northern India are Haryana, Himachal Pradesh, the Punjab, Rajasthan, Utter Pradesh and Uttarakhand, with the Himalayan mountains on the northern border of India and the Thar desert and associated scrublands towards the west, and the Terai-Duar savanna and grasslands to the north east.

If you are close to the Himalayas, you’ll see the druk (Imperiadraco torridus), specifically the western subspecies (I. torridus nepalus) which has brown-to-golden scales and a mane of green wattles around the head (it is in the longdraconid family, meaning it looks a lot like a stereotypical ‘eastern dragon’). The alpine areas in Himachal Pradesh and Uttarakhand will be good for seeing these animals, as they live at high altitudes, mostly eating sheep and goats such as the bharal (Pseudois nayaur), the tahr (Hemitragus jemlahicus) and a few species of musk deer (Moschus chrysogaster, M. cupreus, M. fuscus and M. leucogaster).

The most famous dragons in India, the nagas (Monoceraserpens indicus) are huge jewel-green serpents with curved, crescent shaped golden nasal horns. You will find the larger specimens in deep rivers (the Ganges being the obvious naga habitat, with rivers associated with the Ganges, the Ganga, Chambal, Betwa, Yamuna, Gomti, Ghaghra, etc.), and smaller specimens may be found in subtropical and tropical forests, such as those in the upper Gangetic plains (Haryana, Rajasthan, Himachal Pradesh, Utter Pradesh, Uttarakhand)

In mythology, they are famed as creatures which can eat elephants (Elephas maximus indicus), and this is especially true for the larger specimens of naga living close to the elephant nature reserves in Uttarakhand and Uttar Pradesh, and as such the conservationists working in these areas try to closely monitor and reduce unruly naga populations. The easiest way to deter the naga is with its natural enemy, the garuda bird, but failing that, a cockatrice (Basiliskos gallimimus) is a good substitute, as the small, chicken-shaped dragons are the unlikely predators of the large nagas.

You will find cockatrices usually in forested areas near farms. They are semi-domesticated animals, in that they will tolerate living among domestic chickens, and may even be handled and housed like a domestic chicken, but they only perform these behaviours so that they can fool the flock, and their prey, into thinking the cockatrice is a mere bird. If possible, they like to wonder around forests with a flock of chickens or similar jungle fowl until a small naga (‘small’ meaning 6ft to 8ft long, the size where they like to hunt in forests rather than stay in the water) attempts to attack the flock for an easy meal. The cockatrice then turns on the naga and sprays a highly venomous toxin, which will blind and injure the animal, and the cockatrice will emit a victory cry to attract other cockatrices, who will then follow the injured naga until death. In countries without a native naga population, the cockatrice makes do with other large animals.

In the mythology of these three animals, the druk is a symbol of good luck and can summon thunderstorms, nagas are holy and beautiful protectors of bodies of water but can sometimes be total jerks (to the point Krishna needed to dance on the naga Kaliya’s head to stop him from being a nuisance) and cockatrices are seen as really deadly monsters (especially in European folklore, these dragons are not mentioned as much in Asian mythology as they are more commonplace animals).

These are the local dragons according to Dracones Mundi, which is a work of fiction based on world mythology plus some ideas from science, hopefully this makes sense!

Bihar: Floodwaters enter new areas, hit million more

PATNA: Floodwaters spread to new areas in the 11 affected districts of Bihar, hitting one million more population, even though no fresh death was reported and the toll remained at 10, the Disaster Management Department said on Monday. The latest bulletin, said a total of 24.42 lakh people have been hit by floods in 765 panchayats of 93 blocks of 11 districts with Darbhanga being the worst-hit, where 8.87 lakh people have been displaced in its 14 blocks. The Sunday bulletin had said the number of flood- hit population in Bihar was nearly 15 lakh in 11 districts. Apart from Darbhanga, East Champaran and Muzaffarpur districts are badly affected where 7.0 lakh and 3.20 lakh people have been impacted, the bulletin said. The air-dropping operation of food packets by Indian Air Force helicopters has been stopped from this evening in Gopalganj, Darbhanga and East Champaran districts. The operation had started in these places on July 25. A senior officer of the Disaster Management department said the relief distribution through boats and other means would continue in these places as also in other marooned districts. Each relief packet contains two-and-a-half kg of flattened rice, one kg gram, half kg jaggery, matchbox and a packet of candles which were being prepared at Sri Krishna Memorial Hall in the state capital. People have been forced to leave their homes due to rampaging flood. The situation seems to be more or less same in every affected district. A family in Kaharpur village of Naugachhia sub-division of Bhagalpur district was seen demolishing their home as Kosi river was about to take it in its stride. Asked the reason for doing so, they said that several houses have been washed away in the Kosi water and his house will also be taken away in a few hours so he is removing bricks to use them for another house once the situation improves. In Shormar village of Samastipur where floodwaters have submerged everything, one of the affected people said a vast area has been flooded. Even the school has been badly affected. He said that people don’t have water to drink. It seems that people will have to drink the floodwater after boiling them, he said, adding no help from the administration has reached to them so far. In Baliadangi village of Kishanganj district, people have been surrounded by floodwaters and there is no means to get them out of the place. The total number of casualties stood at 10 in districts with no fresh fatality reported on Monday, the bulletin said. The flood affected districts are Sitamarhi, Sheohar, Supaul, Kishanganj, Darbhanga, Muzaffarpur, Gopalganj, West Champaran, East Champaran, Khagaria and Saran. Seventeen teams of the NDRF and eight of the SDRF are involved in the rescue operations as part of which 1.67 people have been evacuated from the affected areas so far, the bulletin said. Besides, 12,858 people are staying in 29 relief camps while nearly 3.28 lakh people were being fed at 703 community kitchens. National Disaster Response Force (NDRF) Commandant Vijay Sinha said his personnel have so far evacuated 6600 affected people and cattle to safer places in Gopalganj, Saran, East Champaran, West Champaran, Darbhanga and Supaul. Besides, the NDRF has also been helping the district administration in distributing relief materials, Sinha said, adding teams have helped medical personnel reach affected rural areas. The flood relief work has been quite a challenge this year in view of the raging COVID-19 pandemic, he said. Several rivers such as Baghmati, Burhi Gandak, Kamlabalan, Lalbakeya, Adhwara, Khiroi, and Ghaghra are flowing above danger level while the water level of Ganga is increasing at Hathidah, Munger, Bhagalpur, and Kahalgaon. Though the level has gone down at Gandhi ghat in Patna, it has remained steady at Buxar and Digha in Patna, a Water Resources Departments bulletin said. Meanwhile, Chief Public Relation Officer (CPRO), of East Central Railway zone, Rajesh Kumar, said some trains in the Darbhanga-Samastipur section have been diverted due to floodwaters coming up to the girder of Railway bridge in between south Hayaghat and Thalwara.

I had an anon question as well as an earlier question on wordpress that I will answer here together as they are kind of related.

1. I saw an early 19th century painting which showed women in a blouse and sari. I always thought blouse was introduced by Jnanadanandini Devi?

I think some sort of blouse (and possibly a kind of petticoat given ghaghra cholis and related outfits) was always around. Even Ajanta paintings have a few examples.  This early 19th century painting is an example of it too:

But I think the formal kind of blouse, often influenced by prevailing Victorian fashion, and the petticoat worn with a sari did come in with both styles in Western India as well as in Bengal in the 1870s. A few books of the time and later refer to shops selling “jackets” which term seems distinct from the choli.

The early 20th century Dhurandhar painting right on top shows differing blouse styles, from the indigenous choli to the modified choli with puff sleeves as well as more elaborate versions which are obviously Victorian in origin suggesting a variety of styles after the 1870s. In summary I think the sari blouse was around but not essential. Especially in the hotter areas of India where a sari sufficed. From the 1870s onwards, however, it became an essential part of attire for educated women and then all women.

2. Several months back I had a query regarding Jnandanandini Devi’s introduction of the Brahmika (Brahmo woman) drape from Sari Sisters. The query was on the  difference between the Brahmika drape and Classical Bengal drape and whether the only difference was in the pleats on the shoulders.

At the time I assumed that there wasn’t much difference between earlier sari drapes in Bengal and the Brahmika saree. But the question stayed in my mind and I had some time this weekend to poke around a bit.  Not much came up. Though everyone agrees that the Brahmika drape was novel and inspired by the Parsi/Gujarati drape that Jnanadanandini saw in then Bombay, the exact nature of the earlier drape is not clear. Instead there is more emphasis on the introduction of accessories like the blouse, petticoat, hair net etc, which assisted in making the saree a dress for a bhadra (respectable) woman. Nevertheless there was some change since there are many remarks both on the untidiness of draping as well as the immodesty of previous drapes.

The only clear reference I got was in Rochona Majumdar’s book (Marriage and Modernity) where she mentions that the traditional style is the pallu (end of the sari) wrapped around the waist or hanging in front rather than the pleats of the Brahmika saree.  As it happens there aren’t too many pre 1870 pics that I could find except these.

Rabindranatha Tagore’s mother on the left (presumably an older style, though it isn’t clear to me if the pallu is tucked around the waist and also on the shoulder).  On the right a milkmaid of the 1840s, this drape has some resemblance to the Brahmika style but has no pleats and is simply wound around. 

The Parsi/Gujarati style is seen above which is the seedha (straight) pallu style with the sari being secured on the right shoulder. 

The Brahmika/Bengal styles are above. The style arranges the saree border in a way that mimics the seedha pallu (more evident in the left pic of girls in 1904*) but the pallu is eventually thrown over and secured at the left shoulder. So it does appear that the sari sisters were right in that process of pleating and arranging the sari in the upper part was probably different for the Brahmika saree (though some of the modern Bengal saree drape tutorials have a bit of a pleat arrangement in the bottom part too. Further the loose end can be thrown over the right shoulder).

As always feel free to comment/inbox and do let me know if Bengal has more draping styles or if there are differences I missed.

15 Reasons Why Madhuri Dixit Will Always Be The Queen Of Bollywood

Madhuri Dixit’s is a face that we all know. Whether we grew up watching her on the screen, or we’ve become acquainted with her work, now, there’s a part of us that will always love the superstar. Our parents loved her, we love. And dear uncle ji, I know you’re reading, and I know you’re still hopelessly in awe of the beauty that she is, but that’s okay cuz so are we. Here are all the times humaara dil dhak dhak kerney luga because of Madhuri ji. 1. First off, Madhuri Dixit is 50 years old and she still looks like this

2. Her adaayein can still make any man go weak in the knees

Known to be one of the most beautiful women in the Bollywood industry, Madhuri Dixit Nene still has it to spellbind any and everyone.

3. From her debut till now, she’s been winning hearts all over the world While the film didn’t do so well at the Box Office, Madhuri’s talent was recognized by critics and directors alike.

4. She dazzled people with her talent in Dil Working opposite Aamir Khan proved lucky for Madhuri as her performance in the hit film Dil earned her a Filmfare Award For Best Actress. She wowed everyone with her talent and bagged the award in just four films.

5. And then took it all to another level with this one Possibly the most sensual song in all of Madhuri’s career, Dhak Dhak Kerne Laga, was a shining point in Madhuri’s career. The song, till today, is on most desi playlists. It’s in every ode to Madhuri. And it’s a song that every bacha bacha knows. 6. Her portrayal of a courtesan in the solid hit Devdas left many hearts broken and many eyes weeping For a courtesan to fall in love; for a woman to know that the man she loves won’t ever let her touch him, will never be hers. That he will always be in love with the one he left behind. She cared for Devdas and tended to him. She nursed him back to health, and then was willing to give him up when Paro came back.

7. Aaja Nachle was Madhuri’s debut after almost a 5-year long hiatus from the Hindi film industry The film tanked at the box office, however, Madhuri’s performance was appreciated greatly. Film critics the likes of Rajeev Masand said that it was next to impossible to take your eyes off of this ethereal beauty on screen. While the film didn’t do so well, her acting did.

8. Playing a con woman in Dedh Ishqiya, she stole many hearts After another hiatus, Madhuri came back in Dedh Ishqiya opposite industry veteran Naseeruddin Shah along with Huma Qureshi and Arshad Warsi. The woman looked gorgeous in every frame and it was hard to not fall in love with her all over again.

9. Gulab Gang is an all-out a woman-centric film, is also the last film Madhuri has acted in The leader of a gang whose sole mission is to protect women from the vices of society, the film is about the trials and tribulations that she has to go through, in order to protect her gang and the woman of her area. Action, politics, struggle, and emotion. The film was a complete package and a showcase for Dixit’s talent.

10. While we’ve had many films come out, we can’t forget Maya in Dil Tu Pagal Hai The epitome of grace and beauty, and the realization of Rahul’s dreams, Maya was a character that everyone was in love with. Whether it was Madhuri’s dancing skills, her chemistry with both Shahrukh Khan and Karisma Kapoor, it all presented us with one of the most heartwarming stories we’ve seen in recent times.

11۔ Or the absolutely adorable Nisha in Hum Aapke Hain Kaun The transition of the whacky, crazy Nisha from the first half of the film, to the serious, more mature, and responsible one from the second half, was reason enough for Madhuri to justify her position on top of the acting pyramid. However, there was so much more to the film. Character development, emotional fluctuations and working with such a huge cast. 12. While Radha from Hum Tumhaare Hain Sanam completely blew us away p> She was kind and compassionate but fiercely protective of her family. And even Shahrukh Khan’s character starts doubting her, she tried her best to fix things.It was a simple script but Madhuri, Shahrukh, and Salman took it to another level with their acting prowess. 13. We were absolutely smitten by Mohini in Yeh Jawani Hai Deewani Source: Dharma Productions The fact that Ranbir Kapoor has had the biggest crush on Madhuri has been no secret.

The state of Uttarakhand, earlier referred to as Uttaranchal, is located in the northern part of India. Often called as the Land of Gods – Dev Bhumi owing to the innumerable  temples and teerth or pilgrimage sites found throughout the state. The famous Char Dham (Kedarnath, Badrinath, Gangotri, and Yamunotri), considered to be the among the holiest sites in India, are in Uttarakhand. Besides the religious significance of the state, Uttarakhand is also well known for its natural beauty that comprises of snow capped mountains, both low and high altitude lakes and associated wetlands, bugiyals or high altitude meadows, and dense forests that are a home to many exotic and diverse flora and fauna.

The name Uttarakhand has originated from two Sanskrit words: uttara (उत्तर) meaning north, and khaṇḍa (खण्ड) meaning land. The name is mentioned in many of the  early Hindu texts, wherein it referred to the area of Kedarkhand (modern Garhwal) and Manaskhand (modern Kumaon). In ancient India, Uttarakhand was used to denote the central stretch of the Himalayas.

“The land north of Gangadwar is known to the wise as Paradise Ground. Apart from this land, the rest is called Earth elsewhere”― Kedarkhand Skanda Purana.

The state of Uttarakhand was formed on 9th November 2000, by carving out the Himalayan and some adjoining districts in the foothills of Uttar Pradesh, and was made into the 27th state of the Republic of India. It shares borders with the state of Himachal Pradesh to the north west, Tibet Autonomous Region (of China) on the north, Nepal on the east, and the state of UP in the south, while doing a touch and go with Haryana in the west (the Hathni Kund Barrage area from where the Yamuna waters are diverted to Haryana). Uttarakhand is the birth place of four large river systems: the Ganga, Yamuna, Ramganga, and Sharda. The state has two divisions: Garhwal and Kumaon with a total of 13 districts.

Divisions Districts Kumaon Division Almora, Bageshwar, Champawat, Nainital, Pithoragarh, Udham Singh Nagar Garhwal Division Chamoli, Dehradun, Haridwar, Pauri  Rudraprayag, Tehri, Uttarkashi

The entire hill state of  Uttarakhand had remained culturally and socially united right from the ancient times, and the two tracts Kedarkhand (now Garhwal) and  Kurmachal (now Kumaon) were mere geographical divisions. Kedarkhand was named after Kedarnath, and Kurmachal named after Kurmavana. The two regions were not culturally or politically divided and remained so even under the Katyuri dynasty that ruled from 800-1100 CE. It was only during the 12th century CE that two political divisions appeared, because at that time the Chand dynasty took control of the area now known as  Kumaon, while the Rajas of Garhwal controlled the region of Garhwal. Despite the two different dynasties, the region remained united in cultural and social contexts.

Thus, it can be said that in the ancient times the entire region (as we find mentioned in the epics and Puranas) had stretched from the river Kali as the border in the east, and Tons river as the border in the  west, Niti pass in the north, and Thakurdwara of the present Moradabad district in the south. For many years the people of this region enjoyed a homogeneity, in the context of social, cultural, and political lives of the common people. It was only the administrative units created in the 20th century that brought in the divisions and further changes. 

My focus here will be on the Kumaon division of Uttarakhand. 

    Looking at Kumaon from a Geographical Perspective

Geographically Kumaon is located in a north west corner of North India, and its is well demarcated from its neighbouring states and countries by mountain and rivers. In the north it is separated from the autonomous region of Tibet by the snowy peaks of the Himalaya, in the east river Kali separates it from Nepal, and in the south the Himalayan foothills separate it from the plains of UP.

The Kumaon division rises sharply from the sub Siwalik (foothills) strip of land to the high snowy peaks with glaciers. The outer ranges of the Himalaya, a part of which is known as Gagar ranges, rises quickly from submontane tracts to 7000-8000 ft, where many of the famous hill stations, such as, Mussorie, Nainital, Almora, Lansdowne, etc., are situated. This part is especially beautiful with its densely forested parts; and when standing at the tops of peaks that often reach more than 8000 ft, the view is spectacular with plains visible on the southern side, and the endless waves of  entangled northern ridges on the other side that is bordered in the horizon by beautiful snow peaks of the central axis of the Himalaya. The outer ranges of the Himalaya hold some beautiful low altitude Himalayan lakes, such as, Nainital, Bhimtal, Sattal, Naukuchiatal, Malwa tal, and Khurpa tal. It is believed that most of these low altitude lakes were formed by tectonic movements that blocked rivers during the Holocene period.

The Bhabar, a strip of land with gently sloping mass that contains mainly riverine debris (coarse gravels), is just below the hilly tract. It is here that the mountain streams descending from the outer ranges and Siwalik hills lose their flow amidst strewn boulders, and re-appear only during the monsoons. It is forested (sal), with many of the forests now having given way to cultivated areas. The rest of the foothills are known as Tarai grassland region, which is primarily moist plain land with the Tarai springs that keep the area perennially hydrated and fertile. Tarai vegetation is characterised by  tracts of clayey swamp (Gangetic alluvium),  tall grasslands, deciduous forests,  and scrub savannah. The three main rivers in Kumaon division are the Kosi, Gola, and Nandhaur. The Kosi river (or Kaushiki, as named in Skandapurana) starts from Dharapani in Almora district, while the Gola and Nandhaur arise from somewhere in the southern slopes of the outer hills. All the three rivers, and other smaller streams in the Bhabar and Tarai areas all drain into the Ramganga. The other major river on the Nepal-Kumaon border is the Sharda river (also known as the  Kali Ganga or Maha Kali) that descends from the Kalapani territory, and joins the Ghaghra/Karnali river in the state of Uttar Pradesh.

The lower sub-Himalayan ranges show Upper Tertiary era deposits of Nahan sandstone, while the higher ranges are made of older slate, quartzite, dark dolomite or limestone, and other schistose and granite rocks. Owing to the heavy rainfalls experienced in these areas the steep slopes often give way to massive landslides.  Kumaon, which is situated on the southern slope of the Himalayan range, show great variations in climate and vegetation that change drastically with changes in elevation, ranging from glaciers at its highest elevations, to subtropical forests at the lower elevations, to grasslands at the flat lands on foothills. While travelling in car these changes are clearly visible, as one moves from the lowlands of Terai that show mostly grasslands, and Bhabar with its remaining pockets of sal forests; to the higher hills that are filled with coniferous and broad-leaf forests, alpine shrubs, and meadows; and finally to the snowy peaks of the Upper Himalaya.

Origin of the name Kumaon

A look at the history of this area shows that the  SkandaPurana (Manash Khanda) refers to this part as Kurmavana or Kumaravana; and it is believed that the word Kumaon is a corruption of the original Puranic term. According to folklore, Vishnu had reincarnated here in Kumaun (near Lohaghat) as Kurma (his second incarnation), to support the Mandar mountain during samudramanthan.

Kurmavatara of Lord Vishnu at Narayana Tirumala (Photo from Wikipedia). Kurma in the Vedic texts symbolises the importance of basic principles and the support necessary for any long term creative activity. In  Shatapatha Brahmana (6.1.1 and 7.5.1) Kurma’s shape represents the hemispherical shape (assumed) of the earth, and it is for this reason kurma shape is one among the Vedic fire altar designs. 

According to Kumaoni folklore, Vishnu in his kurma avataar stood here for three years on the Kurma-mountain (Kandadeva or Kandeva), which is on the east of the river Champavat, and marks of the tortoise’s feet still remain as imprints.  It is for this reason that the region came to be known as Kurma + achal or Kurmachal, which got morphed into Kumu, and later to Kumaon. Initially only the areas around river Champavat were known as Kumaon, but later the whole pargana of Kali Kumaon that comprised of villages along the Kali river came to be known as Kumaon. Later during the reign of Chand dynasty, the entire region, which included the districts of Nainital and Almora, was renamed as Kurmachal or Kumaun. During British rule the Dehradun district also was included in Kumaun. 

It was the Chand dynasty rulers who made the term Kurmachal or Kumaon widely popular in this hill state, and prior to their reign there are no mentions of Kurmachal or Kumaon in any of the inscriptions found. The Chands used Kurmachal in all their records. Under their rule that lasted from 11th c. CE to 1815 CE, there were three administrative divisions in Kurmachal:

(i) Kali Kumaun, (ii) Almora, and (iii) Tarai Bhawar or Mal. 

Interestingly, while most believe that the term Kurmachal was derived from Kurma, Thakur Jodh Singh Negi in his Himalayan Bhraman had opined that as the people of Kumaon were expert farmers and also quite wealthy, so this region came to be known as Kumaon, derived from the local dialect kumuno, which means a cultivated land. He further theorised that the region Kali Kumaon was named not after the river Kali but after Kalu Tadagi who had once ruled the area, and owing to the presence of thick black bushes of fir and banjha, the adjective ‘Kali’ got added to it. While these theories may provide some interesting viewpoints, they are certainly not based on any historical evidences. Linguistically too, Kumaon as a derivation from Kurmachal appears more logical. 

Currently Almora, Bageshwar, Champawat, Nainital, Pithoragarh, and Udham Singh Nagar form the Kumaun division; however, linguistically Kumaon can be further sub divided. Thus, we find that Kali (or Central) Kumaoni dialect is spoken in Almora and northern Nainital, while North-eastern Kumaoni dialect is used in Pithoragarh. South-eastern Kumaoni is spoken in South-eastern Nainital, and Western Kumaoni is spoken west of Almora and Nainital.

While originally the people of Kali Kumaoni were the only  Kumaonis, with the Nainital and Almora people being later additions; yet the people from Gangoli and Chaugarkha that are parts of Kali Kumaon, are not termed as Kumaonis, but are called Gangolas and Chaugarikhiyas.

Kumaon history

The archaeology based history of the region remained sketchy for quite some time owing to disjointed facts and sporadic records that were available until the 19th century CE.  In terms of literary history, the region finds many fleeting references in the epics and the Puranas. Mahabharata mentions this area frequently, especially where it talks of the Kiratas who lived near the sources of the Ganga and Yamuna. The Khasas or Khasias come next, who are found mentioned in the Mahabharata as living in the same areas as the Kiratas. Pliny mentioned Casiri, which many historians identify as the Khasias. Herodotus also mentioned of people living in this area as “Indians who lived in the city of Kaspatyrus.”  Ptolemy had written about a group of people living in this area, which  Cunningham studied extensively and identified them with the Kulindas of Mahabharata. The Yaudheyas (5th c. BCE – 4th c. CE), a military confederation, had also ruled this area at some point of time, as evident from the coins found. The Kalsi rock edicts of Ashoka (260 – 230 BCE), discovered by Alexander Cunningham in 1850, are important pieces of archaeological evidences that mention the people living in this region.

Edict No13 of Ashoka, Khalsi inscription, with the identification of Hellenistic kings Antiochos II, Ptolemy II, Antigonos II Gonatas, Magas of Cyrene and Alexander II of Epirus. these edicts were found in Khalsi in Dehradun district. (photo from Wikipedia)

The Kalsi inscriptions are now housed in this room and maintained by the ASI. (photo from the internet). Kalsi is a small town located between Chakrata and Dehradun near Dakpatthar on the banks of Yamuna. The inscriptions found here are important as these are the only Ashokan edicts found in the hill states of north India. The edicts are written in Pali. 

It is believed by D. R. Bhandarkar that the Khasas were the first to settle in the hilly tract of Uttarakhand, followed by the Gurjaras who came in after 6th c. CE and took over Sapadlaksha (the area around Shivalik ranges stretching from Hoshiyarpur -Punjab to Kumaon), and it is from here that the Gurjaras later moved down to what is now the state of Rajasthan.

ET Atkinson had done some extensive researches on the available cultural, social, and historical data of the area, and had recorded it in his pioneering work titled “Himalayan Districts of the North-Western provinces of India,” published in 1884. Later discoveries and studies of the various inscriptions such as the Jageswar inscriptions, Lakhamandal inscriptions, the two Talesvara Copper Plate, and Pandukesvar inscriptions have given some significant insights into the 6th-7th CE history of the area. There are many more such later period research works on this arena by Rahul Sankrityayan, H.K. Raturi, S.P. Dabral, and B.D. Pande.

Much later, extensive studies of fossil remains found from rocks in this region that date back to 18.3 to 0.6 million years BP have opened up a vista of the prehistoric era as had existed here. The fossil studies have revealed “a variety of Stresirhine Primate genera, Cercopithecoid genera, and Hominoid genera, the last one being of special interest to hominid ancestry. Significantly, Kalagarh Basin (District Pauri, Uttarakhand) has also witnessed Hominoid activities some 11 to 10 million years ago. These include Sivapithecus indicus and Ramapithecus punjabicus. These hominoids form important links in the evolution of hominids” (Archaeological Survey of India, Dehradun circle). Furthermore, the recent discoveries of “Palaeolithic era tools from Potwar (northern Pakistan) dated between 2.4 and 2.0 million years BP, and from Uttarbaini (Jammu and Kashmir, India) dated between 2.5n and 0-5 million years BP” have given rise to the theory that the  Himalayan region could have been the cradle of the earliest hominids of the world.

Recent archaeological studies of this region have given an insight into the different technological stages of human evolution ranging from the Stone to Copper, and Iron Ages (pre-and protohistoric periods). Meanwhile the historical studies from different numismatic, literary, and epigraphical evidences, give us the names of some of the important dynasties that have ruled this area. These include the Kunindas (2nd BCE to 4th c. CE); while in the 4th CE we find that the area was known as Karttripura kingdom, a vassal kingdom under the Guptas (as written in Samudra Gupta’s Parayaga Prasasti).

From the Talesvara Copper Plate Inscriptions of Almora we find that this region was called Brahmapura in the 6th-7th c. CE, during the reign of the Paurava-Varmans. The name Brahmapura is found in the Vrihatsamhita, while Heiun Tsang also mentions it in his 7th c. CE travel book (he writes it as as Po-lo-hi-mo-pu-lo, that in Sanskrit translates to Brahmapura). The kingdom of Brahmapura declined by the end of 8th c. CE, and next came the Katyuris, who ruled from 9th -12th c. CE. From various inscriptions it is clear that some parts of this area came under the dominion of the Mallas of Nepal from 1191 CE to 1223 CE, and that effectively ended the Katyuri rule, though later inscriptions show that the Katyuris survived as petty rulers of smaller areas. After the Katyuris, eventually  from 11th century onward emerged the most powerful dynasty of Kumaon, the Chand dynasty, who kept control until 1815. The British conquered it in 1815 and took over the area, which remained with them until 1947.
