Item description from seller

The Western Himalayas have always remained a theatre for all human activities-social and cultural and the ideal of human aspirations-religious and spiritual from the very dawn. of civilization in the Indian sub-continent. It is from this perennial source that all the socio-religious currents have flown and spread to the rest of the sub-continent and beyond eastward where they subsequently developed into multiforms. The cultural strata of the Western Himalayas has, thus, been composed of the sedimentary layers of diverse ethnic influences and socio-religious systems which, in the course of time, got blended and crystallised into a distinct cultural entity. Most of those raciocultural strains have remained obscure through ages and, to discover them has always been a challenge to the historians and the scholars. But traces of those strains of the hoary past are preserved as an integral part of the rich folk-lore and can be gleaned through the countless myths and legends in the epics and puranas. The early history of Western Himalayas has thus, remained shrouded and mystified and overburdened with folk imagery and fantasy. In order to wean the grains out of chaff, it is imperative that those legends and traditions recorded in the Epics and puranas and the folk-lore are conscientiously evaluated and analysed in the context of the extant archaeological evidences, which al- though fragmentary and scarce in this region, are of cardinal importance for eliciting historical account of that age. The numismatic evidences of the ancient republics which held sway in this region in the remote past are so far the only means by which the literary references and the folk traditions can be systematically examined for their historical credence.…
