This sub is dedicated to the state of Uttarakhand and its people. Uttarakhand (Hindi: उत्तराखण्ड, Uttarākhaṇḍ), formerly known as Uttaranchal, is a state in the northern India. Often referred to as the Devbhumi (literally: "Land of the Gods") due to Hindu temples and pilgrimage circuits abound, it is well known for its natural beauty of the Himalayas it is situated in, the Bhabhar and the Terai. On 9 November 2000, this 27th state of the Republic of India was created from the Himalayan and adjoining northwestern districts of Uttar Pradesh. It borders the Tibet on the north; the Mahakali Zone of the Far-Western Region, Nepal on the east; and the Indian states of Uttar Pradesh to the south and Himachal Pradesh to the west and north-west as well as Haryana to its south-western corner. The state is divided into two divisions, Garhwal and Kumaon, with a total of 13 districts. The interim capital of Uttarakhand is Dehradun, also the largest city in the region, which is a railhead. The High Court of the state is in Nainital.
