Uttarakhand, is a State in the Northern Part of India. It is often referred to as the “Land of the Gods” due to the many holy Hindu temples and pilgrimage centres found throughout the state. Known for its natural beauty of the Himalayas, the Bhabhar and the Terai, the state was carved out of the Himalayan and adjoining northwestern districts of Uttar Pradesh on 9 November 2000. The History of Uttarakhand sings the glorious past of the territory. With reference to Uttarakhand, the Pauravas constitute an integral element of their resplendent history. The Pauravas are in fact the designation dowered to petite kingdoms as well as tribes that hail from the north western frontiers of India.The Pauravas were at their prime during the 4th and 5th century BC although there had been evidence of their glorious existence in the ages dominated by the Vedas. At that point, the Pauravas are thought to be under the apt guidance of the emperor Sudas. Uttarakhand has a long history of its genesis, and evolution, that highlights the great emperors, such as the Kushanas, Kudinas, Kanishka, Samudragupta, Katuria, Palas, Chandras and Pawaras. Uttarakhand has a total area of 53,483 km2 of which 86% is mountainous and 65% is covered by forest. Most of the northern part is covered by high Himalayan peaks and glaciers. Two of the most important rivers in Hinduism originate in the glaciers of Uttarakhand
