| Uttaranchal finds mention in the ancient Hindu scriptures as Kedarkhand, Manakhand and Himavat. The present state of Uttaranchal was earlier as part of the United Province of Agra and Awadh which came into existence in 1902. Uttaranchal chiefly consists of two hilly divisions, Kumaon and Garhwal. Hindu legends name this region as Devbhoomi (Land of the Gods) and houses some of the most important pilgrimage sites in the country. Temple building flourished under the Katyuris and the main architectural innovation introduced by them was the replacement of bricks with hewn stone. | ||||||||||||||
