Devbhoomi Uttarakhand: The Fascinating Cultures of the Central Himalaya by Neha Mittal | Book review


 Book review:

"Devbhoomi Uttrakhand" is a captivating and spiritual insights-pouring book. The book is divided int three sections: Char Dham, Himalaya, and Pahadi. Each section imparts valuable stories of Hindu mythology and hidden facts. 

This captivating journey unfolds the sacred history of the Char-Dham pilgrimage, unravels the mystery of Skeleton Lake, and explores the cultural tapestry defining Uttarakhand. Through the captivating illustrations and maps, the book provides a comprehensive view of the region, seamlessly combining mythological stories with present-day scenarios.

I was intrigued to know about the Badrinath temple and how the Pandavas accent to the heaven.  I felt personally taken on a journey through captivating landscapes, historical temples, and vibrant marketplaces that have shaped the character of Devbhoomi.

The author has well researched the details regarding the place and shared stories in an engrossing manner. The author weaves together myth, history, and geography to create a sanctuary for pilgrims and seekers alike in the Central Himalayan region.

 The author skillfully portrays the imagined landscapes, making the book a visual treat. The blend of mythological stories with contemporary narratives was seamless, offering me an engaging and informative experience. 

Overall, the book created a well-rounded literary journey. Worth reading, do grab it!
