the northern part of India. It became the 27th state of the Republic of
India on November 9, 2000. It borders Tibet to the north, Nepal to the
east, and the states of Himachal Pradesh and Uttar Pradesh (of which it
formed a part before 2000) in the west and south respectively.
** Nanda Devi Lok Jat is a Hindu pilgrimage stretching 280 km through
the Central Himalayas. Held in the months of August/September every 12
years, it starts in the middle Himalayas and traverses alpine meadows
finally ending in the Himalayan Tundra region. Nanda as a maternal
figure is intricately intertwined into the socio-cultural fabric of
Uttarakhand
