In the Tibetan language, the word 'Lho-yul' means southern country. This name is said to have originated when Lahaul was under the sway of Ladakhi rulers who designated their territory in the south as 'Lho-yul'. This theory, propounded by Moorcraft, was universally accepted, but recent research repudiates it. Both the Tibetan and the local people call this area Garzha; it is the people of Kulu who call it Lahau!. Moreover it has been now proved that all through the ancient times, Lahaul remained more or less under Chamba 'and Kulu. Dr. Hazari Prasad Dwivedi has put forward another version, tracing the name Lahaul to the Lahaul-Pashupat sect which thrived in India during the middle ages. According to him, Lahaul is an abbreviation of the original word Lahaul-Pashupat. Spiti, the name of the other sub-division of the District, is pronounced locally as Piti, which is also a Tibetan word meaning 'middle province'. The name appears to have been given to the territory on account of its location between the then British India, Kashmir, Tibet and Bashahr.

  • The Spiti Valley Recovering the Past & Exploring the Present OXFORD
    The Spiti Valley Recovering the Past & Exploring the Present Wolfson College 6 t h -7 t h May, 2016 OXFORD Welcome I am pleased to welcome you to the first International Conference on Spiti, which is being held at the Leonard Wolfson Auditorium on May 6 th and 7 th , 2016. The Spiti Valley is a remote Buddhist enclave in the Indian Himalayas. It is situated on the borders of the Tibetan world with which it shares strong cultural and historical ties. Often under-represented on both domestic and international levels, scholarly research on this subject – all disciplines taken together – has significantly increased over the past decade. The conference aims at bringing together researchers currently engaged in a dialogue with past and present issues pertaining to Spitian culture and society in all its aspects. It is designed to encourage interdisciplinary exchanges in order to explore new avenues and pave the way for future research. There are seven different panels that address the theme of this year’s conference, The Spiti Valley : Recovering the Past and Exploring the Present , from a variety of different disciplinary perspectives including, archaeology, history, linguistics, anthropology, architecture, and art conservation. I look forward to the exchange of ideas and intellectual debates that will develop over these two days. On this year’s edition, we are very pleased to have Professor Deborah Klimburg-Salter from the universities of Vienna and Harvard as our keynote speaker. Professor Klimburg-Salter will give us a keynote lecture entitled Through the black light - new technology opens a window on the 10th century .

  • Sacred-Lakes-1.Pdf
    Newsletter Archives www.dollsofindia.com Holy Lakes of India Narayan Sarovar | Nakki Lake Prashar Lake | Pushkar Lake | Suraj Tal Copyright © 2019, DollsofIndia India is a land that abounds with temples; religious pilgrimage sites; and holy springs and lakes. The most sacred spots are, in fact, so powerful that their spiritual intensity is actually palpable and visitors get to feel the heightened energy there. In this post, we bring you a feature on some of the holiest lakes of India. Many of these lakes are associated with temples and interesting legends as well. Here is Part I of our article. We will continue with the feature in our next post. Narayan Sarovar Narayan Sarovar or Narayansar is a sacred land for Hindus and is situated on the Kori Creek. This lake is located in the Lakhpat Taluka of Kutch District, Gujarat. The ancient temple of Koteshwar, which lies just 4 kilometers ahead, is associated with this site. Narayan Sarovar is one of the 5 holy lakes of Hinduism, collectively referred to as the Panch- Sarovar. The others are Mansarovar in Tibet, Pampa in Karnataka, Bhuvaneshwar in Orissa and Pushkar in Rajasthan. According to legend, a long time ago, the Saraswati River had an outlet into the sea, near present-day Narayan Sarovar. The waters of this lake were filled with the holy waters of River Saraswati. This lake is mentioned in the Puranas. At one time, a drought hit the area and so, it was dry and arid all around.

    JustWravel R O A D T R I P T O S P I T I F R O M D E L H I W W W . J U S T W R A V E L . C O M S P I T I V A L L E Y R O A D T R I P Spiti Valley Spiti Valley is a vast cold desert mountain valley located in the Himalayas in the north- eastern part of the Indian state Himachal Pradesh. The word "Spiti" depicts "The Middle Land", which was a bridge where the two great traditions of India and Tibet diffused in the trans-Himalayan region. There are two routes by which one can reach Spiti, which are from Manali via Rohtang and Kunzum Pass and from Shimla via Hindustan Tibet highway, which is often considered one of the most treacherous road. Spiti Valley is fed by several fast-flowing streams that drain into Spiti river. Being one of the remotest regions of India which remains blocked for most of the year is ideal for Wravelers looking to explore places. It's not all about traveling together, but connecting and traveling together forever. I T I N E R A R Y 9 N / 1 0 D Day 0 DELHI TO NARKANDA You will meet our Trip Lead at ISBT Kashmere Gate by 9 PM.
