Garhwal
lying in the north -west of Uttaranchal comprises of the 5 districts of
Dehradun, Pauri, Tehri, Uttarkashi and Chamoli.
The
archaeological remains lying scatterd at many places reveal that a rich
civilization flourished here from very early times. The mahabharata gives
vivid accounts of the land and its people.
Emperor Ashoka's
domain encompassed a part of the terrain , evidence of which is "chitrashila"
or "chhatrashila", a quartz rock bnearing his edicts, dicoverd
near kalsi.
Hieun tsang, the 7th century chyinese pilgrim
traversed a part of the garhwal and adi shankaracharya, the 8th century
hindu saint and reformer, visited the remotest regions and to him we owe
the establishment of some of the most sacred shrines of garhwal.
