The Himalaya is often referred to
as the abode of Gods. Its serene atmosphere, snow clad peaks, swift flowing
rivers and green valleys spread over vast areas are touched by a common undercurrent
of spirituality. The Garhwal and Kumaon regions are dotted with ancient temples.
On auspicious occasions, these centres of faith turn into venues of fascinating
festivals, when people from far and wide gather there to offer their obeisance
to the deity and give musical expression to their joy and happiness.
Here we present a brief description of the fascinating fairs & festivals
of the Kumaon and Garhwal region, that reflects not only the innocent expressions
of joy but also provides an insight into the rich cultural tradition of the
