INTRODUCTION OF KULLU VALLEY Kullu valley is a broad open valley formed by the Beas River between Manali and Largi. This valley is famous for its beauty and its majestic hills covered with Pine and Deodar Forest and sprawling Apple Orchards and snow capped peaks of the valley. Kullu valley is sandwiched between the Pir Panjal, Lower Himalayan and Great Himalayan range. Kullu is the capital town of this valley & it is located on the banks of the Beas River. Kullu Valley is the largest valley in the Kullu district, in Himachal Pradesh, state of India. The Beas River runs through the middle of the valley. FACTS Country India State Himachal Pradesh Page | 2 ​ District Kullu Zonal Headquarters Kullu Elevation 1,220 m (4,000 ft) Population (2011) 18,306 (10th) Languages Hindi (Official) & Kulluvi in General KNOWN AS VALLEY OF GODS Kullu Valley, also known as the "Valley of Gods", or "Dev Bhumi” It is full of temples rather every village has a local temple. It is well known for the seven day festival of Kullu Dussehra, a celebration of Avatar Lord Rama's victory over the evil king Ravana. The festival takes place in the months of October or November, depending upon the Hindu calendar. Kullu (1,220 m or 4,000 ft) was once known as Kulanthpitha - `the end of the habitable world`. Beyond rose the forbidding heights of the Greater Himalayas and, by the banks of the shining river Beas, lay the fabled `Silver Valley’. CULTURE The customs and rituals practiced in the valley depict the simple lifestyle of the natives, living close to Nature. The people here worship deities who are sages, snake gods and other powerful gods and goddesses mentioned in ancient Indian scriptures. Every village has beautiful temples dedicated to these deities. The people of Kullu are primarily farmers, but now the population has also scattered into emerging occupations as tourism. There is a rich tradition of folk arts in Kullu. The excellent temple carvings, vibrant handicrafts, spectacular folk dances and melodious songs show the sensitivity of the people. CUISINE Kullu Valley. Paddy and maize were the main crops in mountains as climate was favorable for growing these crops. Kodra (cereal) and Salyara formed the daily meals of people. During saja (local festival) special food was cooked. It consisted of bhaturas, patrodu, vadas and vegetables. People of Kullu Valley make wine from barley and red rice in their houses, which is known as 'Chakti' and 'Lugri' respectively. In functions and marriages cooking and serving is done in the traditional way which is called 'Dham'. Breakfast, brunch, lunch and dinner are called nhuari, klar, dapohri and byali respectively. Tea is the most popular drink served at any time. Milk, curd, butter, lassi (a drink made out of curd) and ghee (purified butter) are also consumed a lot. Milk, curd, butter and ghee were also in the routine diet because every house had cows. The food has everything to make a person healthy.

Page | 4 ​ The charming little hill station of Kullu rests in the majestic Kullu Valley. Aptly named in ancient Hindu scriptures as Kulanthapitha, or ‘The End of the Habitable World’, this extraordinarily scenic valley is also home to Manali, a popular hill station favoured especially by honeymooners who flock here to experience the area’s romantic snow-clad mountains, towering Deodar jungles, mighty rivers and picturesque apple orchards. This remarkably scenic environment provides an ideal outdoor playground for a wide range of adventure sports including trekking, fishing, river rafting, mountaineering, paragliding and hiking over the Himalayan glaciers. Culture enthusiasts are equally well catered for with countless timber and stone villages still inhabited by the local ‘pahari’ or ‘hill people’ many of whom continue to preserve the area’s traditional way of life. The Kullu Valley combines remarkable landscapes, wild out door adventures and intriguing local culture to form one of India’s favourite holiday retreats. Overnight: The Sonaugi Homestead The sonaugi Homestead's rooms are lovely, large and spacious – over 450-600 square feet – rather unconventional for a Himalayan house. But more than that, each room is like a miniature home with living and lounge spaces, private spot, reading corner... and dreaming corner, too if you like. Beds made from beige Himalayan maple wood are elegant. Duvets and throws are designed to entice you into sleep-land with a book for company at any point of the day... if only nature hanging out of the windows don’t catch your eye. Each of these spaces has an angularity about it, an imperfection that gives it character. Be warned you that the rooms were built as a private space and are, therefore, virtually devoid of noise-proofing and not conducive to loud anything – chats, song, stomping and what have you. The loo's are modern and each bath-bubble has running hot water showers with good old LPG as our savior-stove. They use their heating with care – the wood in the high-calorific heating stoves is dead wood either picked from the jungle or cheap commercial firewood bought from the government depot 10 km away in Nagga.

Weaving Traditions along the "Wool Road" in India bySuzetteR.. Copley Patterson Introduction Although the "Silk Road"' is by far the most famous network of trade routes connecting China, Central Asia, and India, there are other significant, ancient trade routes between these regions of which many may not be aware. One such trade route, known informally as the "wool road", connected the plains of the Punjab in India to Tibet, Central Asia and China1. This route, and several others, passed through the Kullu and Kinnaur regions of the northern Indian state known as Himachal Pradesh. The "wool road", which was really merely a donkey trail, was the traditional main trade route in the region, and was so important that it was later widened to motorable width to boost trade in the region and came to be known as the Hindus tan-Tibet road".

The monitoring commenced in the year 1969 with the establishment of 3 observation wells and since, then the number of monitoring station are being increased regularly so as to get the overall picture of ground water scenario in different hydrogeological set up of the state. Most of the area in Himachal Pradesh is hilly enclosing few small intermontane valleys. The traditional ground water structures under observation at present are dugwells and are mostly located in the valley areas only. Therefore, the ground water regime monitoring programme is concentrated mainly in valley areas of the state and some places in hard rock areas. All the 128 National Hydrograph Stations are located only in 7 districts out of the 12 districts in Himachal Pradesh. The reason being hilly terrain, hard approachability and insignificant number of structures available for monitoring. The average annual rainfall in the state varies from 600 mm to more than 2400 mm.
