Uttarakhand officially the State of Uttarakhand (Uttarākhaṇḍ Rājya), formerly known as Uttaranchal, is a state in the northern part of India. It is often referred to as the Devbhumi (literally "Land of the Gods") due to many Hindu temples and pilgrimage centres found throughout the state. Uttarakhand is known for its natural beauty of the Himalayas, the Bhabhar and the Terai.

On 9 November 2000, Uttarakhand became the 27th state of the Republic of India, being created from the Himalayan and adjoining northwestern districts of Uttar Pradesh. It borders Tibet to the north; the Mahakali Zone of the Far-Western Region, Nepal to 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 on 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, the largest city in the region, which is a railhead. The High Court of the state is in Nainital.

Archaeological evidence supports the existence of humans in the region since prehistoric times. The region formed a part of the Kuru and the Panchal kingdoms (mahajanpads) during the Vedic age of Ancient India. Among the first major dynasties of Kumaon were the Kunindas in the 2nd century BCE who practised an early form of Shaivism. Ashokan edicts at Kalsi show the early presence of Buddhism in this region. During the medieval period, the region was consolidated under the Kumaon Kingdom and Garhwal Kingdom. In 1816, most of modern Uttarakhand was ceded to the British as part of the Treaty of Sugauli. Although the erstwhile hill kingdoms of Garhwal and Kumaon were traditional rivals, the proximity of different neighboring ethnic groups and the inseparable and complementary nature of their geography, economy, culture, language, and traditions created strong bonds between the two regions which further strengthened during the Uttarakhand movement for statehood in the 1990s.

The natives of the state are generally called Uttarakhandi, or more specifically either Garhwali or Kumaoni by their region of origin. According to the 2011 Census of India, Uttarakhand has a population of 10,086,292, making it the 19th most populous state in India.

Rama Nawami (Devanāgarī: राम नवमी; IAST: Rāma navamī) is a Hindu festival, celebrating the birth of the god Rama to King Dasharatha and Queen Kausalya in Ayodhya. Rama, the seventh avatar of Vishnu, is one of the oldest avatars of Lord Vishnu having a human form. [2][3] [4] The holy day usually falls in the Shukla Paksha on the Navami, the ninth day of the month of Chaitra in the B.S. Hindu calendar. Thus it is also known as Chaitra Masa Suklapaksha Navami, and marks the end of the nine-day Chaitra-Navaratri (Vasanta Navaratri) celebrations. Rama Navami is one of the most important Hindu festivals.

At some places the festival lasts the whole nine days of the Navaratri, thus the period is called 'Sri Rama Navaratra'.[5][6] It is marked by continuous recitals, Akhand Paath, mostly of the Ramacharitamanas, organized several days in advance to culminate on this day, with elaborate bhajan, kirtan and distribution of prasad after the puja and aarti. Images of the infant Rama are placed on cradles and rocked by devotees. Community meals are also organized.[7] Since Rama is believed to have been born at noon, temples and family shrines are elaborately decorated and traditional prayers are chanted together by the family in tial havans are organized, along with Vedic chanting of mantras and offerings of fruits and flowers. Many followers mark this day by vrata (fasting) through the day followed by feasting in the evening, or at the culmination of celebrations.[2][8][9] In South India, in Bhadrachalam the day is also celebrated as the wedding anniversary of Rama and his Nepalese consort Sita. Sitarama Kalyanam, the ceremonial wedding ceremony of the divine couple is held at temples throughout the south region, with great fanfare and accompanied by group chanting of name of Rama.

The important celebrations on this day take place at Janakpurdham(Nepal), Ayodhya (Uttar Pradesh) Sita Samahit Sthal (Sitamarhi) (Bihar), Bhadrachalam (Telangana),Kodandarama Temple, Vontimitta (Andhra Pradesh) and Rameswaram (Tamil Nadu), thronged by thousands of devotees. Rathayatras, the chariot processions, also known as Shobha yatras of Rama, Sita, his brother Lakshmana and Hanuman, are taken out at several places,[][12][13] including Ayodhya where thousands of people take a dip in the sacred river Sarayu.[14]

Siddheshwar Temple
A unique pilgrim centre with a 108 feet tall statue
of Lord Shiv , this pilgrim centre also has replicas
of the 12 Jyotirling to offer one platform for Shiv
devotees - Siddheshwar Dhaam, Sikkim.
Sikkim has created a history by bringing the four
Dhaam under one roof at Solophok, Namchi, South
Sikkim. The four most revered Dhaam of the
Hindu's - Jagannaath Puree (Udeesaa), Dwaarakaa
Puree (Gujaraat), Raameshawaram (Tamilnaadu),
Badreenaath (Garhvaal) have been replicated in
this fantastic complex to benefit the devotees who
will visit this place. Siddheshwar Dhaam was
consecrated by Shri Jagadguru Shankaraachaarya
Swami Swarupananda Saraswati on November 8,
2011 and is now open to public.
It is situated amidst the breadth taking
surroundings of Solophok Hill, 5 km from Namchi,
befitting the mythological setting behind the
establishment of the original Dhaam. It has a 108 ft
tall statue of Shiv, replicas of 12 Jyotirling, models
of sacred Chaar Dhaam Hindu Temples of
Jagannaath, Badreenath, Dwaarakaa and
Raameshwaram and a 18-feet statue of
Kiraateshwar - the hunter incarnation of Shiv. It is
believed that Lord Shiv, after losing Satee in Agni
Kund of Daksh's Yagya, had gone into seclusion
and became a hunter in the forests of Sikkim. It
has been created over 29.9 hectares at a cost of Rs
56.51 crore. The giant statue of Lord Shiv in sitting
posture has been erected at the highest point of
the hilltop.
A 135 ft statue of Guru Padmasambhav, the patron
saint of Sikkim, and a two-storey temple dedicated
to Sai Baabaa also boost the pilgrimage appeal of
South Sikkim. While Guru Padmasambhav's statue
is across the Solophok hilltop, the Sai temple is
just a stone's throw away from the new pilgrimage
complex. Namchi is 75 km from Gangtok and is the
administrative headquarters of South Sikkim.
During the Praan Pratishthaa Jagadguru
Shankaraahaarya said that all kinds of people can
worship here. He also said that, according to
Hindu mythology, during the war fought between
Kaurav and Paandav when Arjun was worshiping in
this particular place, Shiv revealed himself to him
and blessed him. While Arjun was praying a boar,
he appeared before him in the form of Kiraateswar.
Co-incidentally, the boar was killed by two arrows
shot by Arjun and Kiraateshwar and hence there
arose a dispute for claim of the dead boar. In lieu
of the prey, Arjun begged Kiraateshwar for his
favor for winning the battle against the Kaurav but
Kiraateshwar declined the request rather
committed to remain unbiased although he was
inclined to Kaurav. It was believed that the help
and favor of Kiraateshwar would be a winning
weapon. Thus people will visit this sacred place
with the hope of attaining salvation, peace and
prosperity. Furthermore, they have faith in
anticipation that having seen this place there
would be forgiveness of sin.
It is believed that a visit to the place is enough to
wash away one's sins. As in India, the Chaar
Dhaam situated in four different directions like in
East as Jagannaath, in West as Dwaarakaa, in
South as Raameshawaram, in North as Badrinaath
Dhaam, ar considered main pilgrimage centers for
Hindu, in South Sikkim (Namchi), Siddheshwar
Temple will be like four Dhaam.
