This book offers an entry into Chamba nestled in the heart of the Himalayas, with its steep mountain ranges, sparkling rivers and lush valleys. Beginning with the establishment of Bharmour, with its elegant complex of ancient temples through to the growth of Chamba town and its emergence as a reputed centre for temple building and miniature painting and, in relatively modern times, the creation of Dalhousie, one of India's most restful hill stations, this book brings Chamba's charming heritage into sharp relief. This book also travels to Pangi, among the India's most remote and fascinating valleys; and on the way, there are introductions to Chamba's glorious crafts, its painting and sculpture, its many colourful festivals, and the charming people who have created life and tradition in this celestial valley. This book is a highly visual one with over 160 photographs, illustrations and maps.
