Chandmari, Uttarakhand

This article is about the village in Uttarakhand, India. For other uses, see Chandmari.

Chandmari is a village in the town of Doiwala, in Dehradun district in the state of Uttarakhand, India. In the past it was a shooting range for the army and housed the local Ahmed satellite station, which is important to the region for its role in being the second oldest satellite station in the country. Despite its low population and highly forested land, the village is important due to its accelerated urbanization and its proximity to the border of Rajaji National Park, its closeness to both the railway station, the nearby Picnic Spot at Lachhiwala and local Doiwala landmarks like the Rambagh house. The Rambagh house lends its name to the Rambagh colony and is situated opposite to the estate (supposedly the pukka house - local lingo for modern cement and concrete structures - has been around for three quarters of a century - with a more primitive building having existed decades before that).
