Dr.Pritam Bhartwan (PADAMA SHRI) Preface

[edit]

Uttarakhand has a very prosperous and versatile culture diversified in the form of folk music, instruments, dance forms, ethnic wear & religious places among various others. However, over a period of time the residents have migrated to industrial havens to earn livelihood for themselves and their families. This has resulted in utter neglect of our rich culture and absolute apathy towards our folk artists who are languishing in oblivion. There are few stalwarts who have overcome significant hurdles to create awareness about the culture of Uttarakhand and their journey is one of folklore.
