Received: July 24, 2018 Accepted: October 02, 2018 ABSTRACT The majestic Himalayas have a unique place in Indian history and traditions. The entire region is endowed with natural and cultural beauty. Since the dawn of civilization in this subcontinent, the strategic location of the western Himalayas on the crossroads of racio-cultural movements has been responsible for shaping the socio- economic milieu of the people of this region.The state of Himachal Pradeshis located on the traditional trade routes that connect the Indian mainland with the Trans-Himalayan regions in Tibet, China, central Asia, and even the Middle East. It is the most desirable state for mountain tourism for domestic as well as foreign travellers. Himachal Pradesh is a relatively new establishment, but the history of the lands it comprises goes back to ancient times. The main objective of this paper is to study the historical perspective of tourism in Himachal Pradesh from the Mughal period to the modern period with a narrative approach. Keywords: Travel, Tourism, History, Mountains, Himachal Pradesh INTRODUCTION Travel was a typical way of life prior to the advent of modern means of transportation, when economic compulsion forced people to travel, often over hazardous territories to trade essential commodities.

  • Syncretism of Religious Beliefs in Western Himalaya´S Lahoul
    Südasien-Chronik - South Asia Chronicle 9/2019, S. 83-119 © Südasien-Seminar der Humboldt-Universität zu Berlin ISBN: 978-3-86004-343-1 Syncretism of Religious Beliefs in Western Himalayas’s Lahoul LAURA YEREKESHEVA [email protected] KEYWORDS: FUNCTIONS OF RELIGION, LAHOUL, RELIGIOUS SYNCRETISM, CULTS OF MOUNTAINS, STONES, BUDDHISM, HINDUISM 83 The goal of the article is to trace the intermingle and interinfluence between various religious traditions among the tribes of Western Himalayas, particularly, of those living in modern Himachal Pradesh state of India (district Lahoul and Spiti, L&S). The areas in northern India, seemingly marked by either Hinduism, as in southern Himachal Pradesh, or Buddhism, as in northern part of the state (culturally more influenced by Western Tibet and Ladakh), represent the interesting case testifying about the amalgamation and syncretism of these religions with the local, so-called "primordial" beliefs, related to animism, fetishism, shamanism; and between them- selves. The existence and preservation of the syncretic beliefs could help to explain the nature of culture-religion interplay and mechanism of developing by them the respective functions, such as functions of adaptation and pattern maintenance. The author would like to acknowledge help and assistance of so many people met in Shimla and across Himachal Pradesh during the ICCR visiting fellowship at the Indian Institute of Advanced Study in Shimla (India). All of them in various ways contributed towards my discovering the region. The discussions held and travels made enriched FOCUS my knowledge and understanding of Lahoul, its generous people and beautiful traditions. Historiography The Western Himalaya’s region, particularly, the areas comprising modern Himachal Pradesh and Jammu and Kashmir states of India, have always attracted scholars, pilgrims, travellers, administrators, missionaries.

Now a days skin diseases are numerous and a frequently occurring health problem affecting all ages. Some plants and their parts are frequently used by local people to treat these diseases. The use of plants is as old as the mankind. As natural treatment is cheap and claimed to be safe, thus people still reckon more on natural remedies.
