Answer 1

Explanation:

Uttarakhand is a state in North India. Its name, which means "northern land" or "section" in Sanskrit, is mentioned in early Hindu texts as the combined region of Kedarkhand and Manaskhand.

In the Puranas, Uttarakhand was the ancient term for the central Indian Himalayas. Its peaks and valleys were known as Svarga loka: a temporary abode of the righteous, and the source of the Ganges. Around 200 BC, the Khas Arya people reached the Himalayas from the Caucasus Mountains. Unlike the Vedic Aryans (who took southern, western, and eastern routes), the Khas Arya took the northern route. Uttarakhand is known as "the land of the gods" (Devbhumi) because of its number of Hindu pilgrimage sites. The Pauravas, Kushanas, Kunindas, Guptas, Katyuris, Palas, Chands, Parmars (or Panwars), Shahs and the British have ruled the state by turns.
