Uttaranchal Profile

Uttaranchal became the 27th state of the Republic of India on Nov 9th, 2000. The state shares common boundaries with Tibet (China) to the north and Nepal to the east, Himachal Pradesh to the west and Uttar Pradesh (of which it formed a part before 2000) in the south. In Hindu scriptures, the land has been described as Uttarakhand, a term derived from Sanskrit which means Northern Country.

Uttaranchal is a land of Celestial Beauty filled with glaciers and peaks, flowers and dense forests. This Kumaon region of Himalayas is also called the Adi Kailash, the residence of Lord Shiva. The enchanting region is covered with majestic mountains which form the symbol AUM (the Adi mantra of Hindu religion) with white snow on black background. The sacred place is nestling with the temples of Badrinath, Kedarnath, Gangotri, and Yamunotri.
