Uttaranchal is composed of two words "uttar"
meaning "north" and "aanchal"
meaning "blessings." Uttaranchal is broadly
divided into two zones Kumaon and
Garhwal. Earlier known as "Devbhumi"
meaning "the land of god," Uttaranchal
also nourishes a diverse and rich culture and monuments
of historical importance.
Kumaoni and Garhwali
are the respective bolis of Kumaon and Garhwal
widely used in day to day communication by the pople
living therein. It's widely spoken in villages and
small towns. However the city culture has to much
extent swallowed up Kumaoni and Garhwali, and the
people prefer to use Hindi instead.
