My Hometown……..

Hi guys! Today I am going to write about my hometown ‘Uttarakhand’. Even though my family moved to Delhi 13 years ago I still feel connected to Uttarakhand and its traditions. Uttarakhand also known as ‘Devbhumi‘ god’s land. Uttarakhand has two regions ‘Kumaon’ and ‘Garhwal’ region. One of the four abodes (char dham) ‘Badrinath’ is located in the garhwal region of Uttarakhand. Kumaon region has its own histories and stories. Nainital, Bhimtal and Saatal are famous tourist places located in the Kumaon region. The famous fruit you can find in Uttarakhand during summers is Kafal also known as bay berry. The traditional dress of Uttarakhand in the Kumaon region is a ghagra along with a kameez as a blouse. Kumaoni women wear pichoras, a type of garment common during weddings and other special occasions.
