• Himachal Pradesh, India’s snow-laden province, is the 21st largest state in India
and there are records to show that this hilly region has been inhabited since pre-
historic times. All through its history, the region has been ruled by local kings and
empires.
• The main occupation of the people is agriculture, horticulture and hydropower, all
made possible because of the several perennial rivers that flow through the state.
It is the same rivers that have lent their charm to the picturesque vistas that the
land is dotted with.
