Located
in the Western Himalaya, Chamba district of Himachal
Pradesh is a dream world. Fascinated by its scenic
beauty and richness of culture, the historians have
described Chamba as wonderland. Gorgeous landscape,
majestic snow-capped mountain ranges of Dhauladhar,
Pir Panjal and Zanskar, the humming rivers, placid
lakes, perennial springs, lush green forests, ancient
temples & monuments, and amazing art and architecture
throw an open invitation to the tourists of all kinds.
There is hardly any region elsewhere which affords
as great variety of people and places as Chamba does.
The sub-divisions namely Pangi, Churah, Chamba, Bharmaur
and Bhattiyat are peculiar not only in their topography
but also in their language, traditions, customs and
culture. Pangi is the remotest part of Chamba district
and is virgin in many respects.
The people of Chamba district are peace-loving, honest,
simple, fair and charming. The folk songs of Chamba
are sweeter than honey.
Based on his intimate knowledge and experience of
the place and people, the author has given colourful
account of the legends & lores, history, life-style,
customs, fairs & festivals, art & craft, important
temples, monuments and scenic places of Chamba which
stir one?s imagination about the place.
