Uttarakhand (Sanskrit: उत्तराखण्डम्, Uttarākhanḍam ?, Hindi: उत्तराखण्ड, Uttarākhanḍ ?), formerly Uttaranchal, is a state in the northern part of India. It is often referred to as the Land of Gods (Hindi: देव भूमि, Dēv bhūmi ?) due to the many holy Hindu temples and cities found throughout the state, some of which are among Hinduism's most spiritual and auspicious places of pilgrimage and worship.

Known for its natural beauty and wealth of the Himalayas, the Bhabhar and the Terai, the state was carved out of the Himalayan and adjoining north-western districts of Uttar Pradesh on 9 November 2000, becoming the 27th state of the Republic of India.[2] It borders the Tibet Autonomous Region on the north, Nepal on the east and the Indian states of Uttar Pradesh to the south, Haryana to the west and Himachal Pradesh to the north west. The region is traditionally referred to as Uttarakhand in Hindu scriptures and old literature, a term which derives from Sanskrit uttara (उत्तर) meaning north, and khaṇḍ (खण्ड्) meaning country or part of a country. In January 2007, the name of the state was officially changed from Uttaranchal, its interim name, to Uttarakhand. The provisional capital of Uttarakhand is Dehradun, which is also a rail-head and the largest city in the region. The small hamlet of Gairsain has been mooted as the future capital owing to its geographic centrality but controversies and lack of resources have led Dehradun to remain provisional capital. Recent developments in the region include initiatives by the state government to capitalise on handloom and handicrafts, the burgeoning tourist trade as well as tax incentives to lure high-tech industry to the state. The state also has big-dam projects, controversial and often criticised in India, such as the very large Tehri dam on the Bhagirathi-Bhilangana rivers, conceived in 1953, the phase one of which has already been completed.[3] Uttarakhand is also well known as the birthplace of the Chipko environmental movement,[4] and other social movements including the mass agitation in the 1990s that led to its formation.

चम्पावत के देवीधूरा नामक जगह
पर मां वाराही का प्रसिद्ध
मन्दिर है. हर साल रक्षाबन्धन के
दिन यहां विशाल
मेला लगता है. इस मेले का मुख्य
आकर्षण दो गुटों के बीच होने
वाला पाषाण युद्ध है.

कहा जाता है कि प्राचीन समय
में यहां मानव बलि का प्रचलन
था. एक बार किसी वृद्ध
महिला के इकलौते पुत्र
की बलि होनी थी तो
महिला ने
माता की आराधना करके उन्हें
इस बात के लिये
मना लिया कि हर साल पत्थर
युद्ध के द्वारा माता को एक
मानव के रक्त
की मात्रा चढायी जायेगी.
इस तरह यह परंपरा हर साल
अनवरत रूप से चली आ रही है. इस
युद्ध में शामिल होने वाले
लोगों को कई दिन पहले से
विशेष रूप से शुद्ध खान-पान और
आचरण का पालन करना पङता है
