India has a diverse culture, food, religions and traditions. The colorful festivals Diwali, Holi, Raksha Bhandan, etc. India is full of different festivals. Every part /state of India has different cultural festivals and believes. That's make this country Unique from world.  

I always attracted towards its different culture. I got the opportunity to experience every culture due to my dad's transferable job and used to enjoy it. My childhood is full of such memories.  

Today, I am writing about culture of my native place Uttrakhand. Uttrakhand is full of greenery. During our summer holidays we visit our home town and enjoy fresh fruits and beautiful green fields.

Culture of Uttarakhand, India

Uttrakhand is a beautiful place which is divided into two regions majorly known as Garhwal and Kumaon. The culture identifies its people uniquely and gives them a meaning. The various traditions, religions, fairs, festivals, folk dances, music are what distinctly separate them from the rest of the crowd. The residents of Uttarakhand are proud of the culture that they follow. The beauty of the state of Uttarakhand is that it houses people belonging to several sub-groups and ethnic groups together under one roof. In this article I am talking about the culture, beliefs and traditions which bind the people of Uttarakhand together.
