ALMORA AND KUMAON: The history of Art and Literature (with Dr. Shekhar Pathak)
Вставка
- Опубліковано 25 чер 2024
- Firstly, Thankyou from the bottom of my heart to Dr. Shekhar Pathak, and Karan Joshi, just see the video to see why. Also, thanks to Vinayak Pant for helping with camera work.
This video was made in collaboration with Almora Literature Festival, organized from 30th June to 2nd July 2023.
Almora is a town in central Kumaon region of the Himalayan state of Uttarakhand, lovingly known as the cultural capital. This almost 500 years old town has seen some of the greatest minds in the field of art and literature, and has contributed vastly to the literature of Hindi, Kumauni and Sanskrit as well.
Names like Sumitranandan Pant, Shivani, Shailesh Matiyani, and Girish Tiwari 'Girda' are just some of the greatest poets, writers and artists of the region.
This video tells the story of the same with a lot of help from Dr. Shekhar Pathak, from the beginning to the end, a brief history. Enjoy!
Oh, and Thanks to Vinayak Pant for kindly holding the camera in the clips where I am visible.

Hello Harshit,
An admirer of ur hard work and efforts towards uttrakhand culture and geography
Love from Almora
Thankyou!
"अल्मोड़ा साहित्य उत्सव" की सफलता की हार्दिक शुभकामनाएं ।
मेरी जन्मभूमि का इतना सुंदर उल्लेख। धन्य हो हर्षित तुम हम जैसे युवाओं को हमारे इतिहास से रूबरू कराने के लिए धन्यवाद। जय नंदा देवी जय गोलू देवता।❣️🧿🙏❤️

OMG, Sumitra Nandan Pant ji yaha se hai,.. Aaj malum hua ..
One of my favourite chayavadi Kavi... In my junior class I learn more poems and literature 🙏
Thanks harshit for your great effort... Your every episode is very knowledgeable.
Bro heartly request ये सीरीज चलते रहेगी क्या पूरे उत्तराखण्ड के culture & sahitya का हमें series की बहुत जरूरत है competitive exams के लिए🌟🌟🌟🌟
Such a nice and detailed information and amazing video
Good to see our inimitable Shekhar Da featuring on my bhulla Harshit's video. As a Garhwali, I've always been in awe of how articulate and aware folks from Almora have traditionally been. Perhaps, it would be apt to say that Almora is the intellectual center of the whole of Uttarakhand. This hold especially true in the aftermath of the submerging of Tehri. The birthplace of stalwarts like Badri Dutt Pandey, Govind Ballabh Pant, Girish Tiwari, Puran Chand Joshi, Shamsher Singh Bisht, Pushpesh Pant to name a few. To hear an Almora based intellectual offer deep insights on culture, religion, language in chaste Hindi while retaining the sweetness of the Kumaoni language in his/her accent is one of the most enjoyable things in the world.
Tonnes of love and regards from a native of Pauri settled in Dehradun (nakli rajdhaani).
Jai GarhKumon.
Jai Nanda Devi.
Thanks!
Glad you liked it.
Love from pithoragarh dajiyu ❤
watching your video, I find myself as a proud Almoriya, proud Kumaoni, proud Uttarakhandi and a proud Indian! Kudos!
बहुत ही बढ़िया एडिटिंग और narration आपने किया है... नैनीताल में पैदाइश, Dr. शेखर पाठक गुरुजी का पड़ोसी होने और स्कूल के समय में गिरदा से सांस्कृतिक ज्ञान मिलने और साथ ही साथ मूल रूप से अल्मोड़ा का होने के नाते... कुमाऊँनी संस्कृति से मैं जुड़ा रहा आज भी हूँ... बड़ी इच्छा है कि अल्मोड़ा लिटरेचर फेस्टिवल में उपस्थित हो पाऊँ 🙏
वाह वाह - क्या बात है !
👌👌🌹
कुमाऊं और अलमोड़ा के इतिहास की गहराइयों के दर्शन के लिए , आपका धन्यवाद !
कुछ और भी महान लेखक जैसे मनोहर श्याम जोशी जी एवम अन्य को आपकी इस प्रस्तुति में अनुपस्थित पाया - संभवतः उनको अपनी आने वाली कृतियों में आप स्थान देंगे , ऐसी आशा है ! 🙏
अद्भुत वीडीओस् बनाते हो आप भाई...आपके द्वारा चुने हुए विषय रोचक् और ज्ञान से भरे हुए होते है....दिल खुश हो जाता है...आपके द्वारा चुने हुए विषय में
प्रिय बंधु मैं भी एक यूट्यूबर हूं और मैं आपका यह वीडियो मुरैना मध्य प्रदेश से देख रहा हूं। बहुत ही साधारण शब्दो में आपने वर्णन किया है बहुत अच्छा कार्य लगे रहो बहुत आगे जाओगे।❤🙏🏻
अल्मोड़ा का बहुत सुंदर चित्रण करने के लिए आपका आभार धन्यवाद।
उत्तराखंड से जुड़े इतिहास और साहित्य में अतुलनीय योगदान देने वाले सभी जनों से जुड़ी जानकारी प्राप्त कर बहुत अच्छा लगा। आज की पीढ़ी को हमारे इतिहास को भी उतना ही महत्व देने की आवश्यकता है। अंग्रेज़ी से पहले खुद के साहित्य अथवा ग्रंथ को पढ़ना अति आवश्यक है।👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
मैं राजस्थान से हूं। फिर भी मुझे आपकी हर वीडियो बहुत अच्छी लगती हैं, आपकी आवाज में सुकून हैं।
Nice work 👍
मै अल्मोड़ा कई बार गया हूं लेकिन सिर्फ एक पर्यटक के रूप में। लेकिन हमने इसकी सांस्कृतिक और साहत्यिक विवेचना को थोड़ा बहुत प्रतियोगी परीक्षाओं को पास करने के लिए पढ़ा था। आज आपके द्वारा टेक्नोलॉजी के साथ रुबरु होने का मौका मिला बहुत अच्छा लगा। मै चाहता हूं अब आप गढ़वाल और यहां के भी कुछ महान विभूतियों पर भी इसी तरह एक वीडियो और जानकारियों को प्रस्तुत करें। ईश्वर आपको सदा खुश रखे दीर्घायु रखे। ❤❤❤
हेलो हर्षित, आपको हमारे कुमाऊं को राष्ट्रीय और अंतर्राष्ट्रीय पटल पर लाने के इस भगीरथ प्रयास के लिए बहुत बहुत साधुवाद और शुभकामनाएं l अपनी उम्रानुपात में बहुत बड़ा कार्य कर रहे हो l एक छोटा सा सुझाव जो आपके पार्श्व कमेंट्री के संदर्भ में है l मैंने आपको कई बार श और स के उच्चारण में त्रुटिपूर्ण पाया है l जैसे कि आप शासन को 'शाशन' अथवा शुरू को 'षुरु' बोलते हुए सुना है l इसे ठीक करने का प्रयास करें l पुनः शुभकामनाएं l - महिपाल सिंह रावत
Thanks for sharing our kumouni culture.. Informational video... as(Almora)... Make a video in Pithoragarh District ❤
This video was made in collaboration with Almora Literature Festival, organized from 30th June to 2nd July 2023.
Bahut achchi jaankari
I must say, maine is tarha ki detailed video, explanation of culture, history, kisi bhi channel par nahi dekhi hai,,, you made it very natural, authentic, real and not even discovery or national geographic can make it like this,,, bravo, appreciate, thanks
Thanks!

उत्तराखंड से एकमात्र " भारत रत्न" पंडित गोविंद बल्लभ पंत जो अल्मोड़ा के निवासी थे, उन्हें ही मिला है। महा गर्व की बात है।
Dear Harshit!
As with time we find someone who became an inspiration for us......
But as youth in the time where the generation is following the trend to make their identity you are the one making so many people to fall in love with their identity.
When we don't know about our culture,tradition then it became easy to influenced by other but when we have strong knowledge of our ancestors and our culture we can stand strong and beautiful.
Thanks for introducing the beautiful history of our motherland with your each video a strong mesage and knowledge spread in so many of people like me who love to say themselves that they are from Almora but in actual they know nothing about the land.
Waiting for other video with inspirational vibes ✨:)
बहुत सुंदर जानकारी जो आज तक किसी को पता नहीं थीं
गर्व है कि एसी भूमि मैं जन्म लिया । और उससे भी ज्यादा गर्व हो रहा है की आप जैसे युवा पहाड़ की संस्कृति और इतिहास को इस तरह की सुंदर रचना के साथ लोगो के सामने पेश कर रहे है ।।
"अल्मोड़ा लिट fest" का इस शानदार video से आगाज़ इस fest की भव्यता को पहले ही प्रदर्शित कर रहा है ।
❤
धन्यवाद
Yaar apni janam bhumi ke liye kuch karna chahiye.baaki aapki janam bhumi bohot khubsurat hai me do din aapke almora me raha hu..🙏🙏
शब्द नही मेरे पास इस संकलन की रचना के लिए। हर्षित भाई गले लगाकर आपका आभार ये जानकारी वीडियो के द्वारा हम सबके सामने लाने के लिए। ❤
Just wow ❤️🌻🌄⛰️🗻🏔️
Cardinal Rule: First like the video then watch it.
Harshit da never disappoints.
Proud to be an Almorian. Wonderful narration.
We need this kind of vlog.. Full of history, knowledge and simplicity❤❤❤
Felt so proud after watching the video, the contribution made by our great ancestors, the struggle. We need more youth like you who can show the world what truely is Uttarakhand.JAI BADRI JAI KEDAR JAI HIMAL.......
Amazing Work Bro
Very well Explained ❤️👌👌
Thank you for your content! This channel is gold 💛
Wow, thank you!
Beautiful, Thanks for this emotional ride in the history of kumaun, Will definitely attend the literature fest of Almora.👍
This professor's knowledge and experience is remarkable
That's why Almora called as cultural capital of uttarakhand, the work bengal did in the context of india, almora did the same for uttarakhand.
Happy that someone is talking about this..keep going ✨
I'm from pauri garhwal and i wish if dehradun and haldwani would have been culture preserved same like almora 😢
Thanks!
@@randombeing1Dehradun and Haldwani showed their true colors in the immediate aftermath of Ankita Bhandari's muder by refusing to participate in the bandh that had been convened to protest the same. Rural Garhwalis, Kumaonis and Jaunsaris stood shoulder to shoulder against the heinous crime but Dehradun and Haldwani demonstrated their unabashed indifference with complete shamelessness. Gotta admit, pathetic cities they are.
The detailing and dedication in making this video is mind boggling for me. Such a rich presentation with good images to capture the real beauty. Hats off to you Harshit 😊
Amazing content and presentation 👏👍
बहुत सुंदर व क्रमबद्ध जानकारी दी गई है ,नई पीढ़ी के लिए यह जरूरी भी है
What you do is brilliant, hope your work gets featured in bigger platforms... one request for kumaun regiment ka itihas
Dear what a nice presentation of my favourite n my home ALMORA . Thx to all of u .Iam DCjoshi from Almora Galli.

Great Job brother..
Kumauni ke pahle lok gayak gopal babu Goswami ❤
This guy deserves a lot than he is receiving. 🎉 Lots of love Harshit. ❤
Girda was such an amazing personality.....I want to know more and more about him.
There are very few channels that explain Uttarakhand wonderfully and you are among the best ....
Harshit Da bahut accha laga ki aaj ke iss kaal mein koi toh hai jo hame hamari mool prakriti se jood raha hai.
धन्य है हमारा अल्मोडा
Very impressive pls explore more n more... Bharat is waiting for ur work .... Kids learn a lot... Love ur compilation abundance of information....
The way you explain everything so minutely is totally appreciable. We love to see the magical Uttarakhand through your slides and words.Thank you for your efforts.
Girda, is emotion for us ❣️Thank you for bringing this here 🙏
Wow, you have done amazing work. I'm an NRI from Almora who lived all his childhood in Almora. I confess there were several things I learnt about my town for the first time from this video. Keep the good work going. Congratulations 🎉
Very nice video, thank you for sharing the history of almora and details about art and literature from uttrakhand
Awesome presentation.
Glad you liked it!
बहुत ही सुंदर व्याख्यान भाई जी। चम्पावत जिला/काली कुमाऊ पर भी एक ब्रीफ हिस्ट्री का एपिसोड बन जाए तो बड़ा सुंदर कार्य होगा जी।🙏🤗
जय जय श्री राम
जय हो देवभूमि के साहित्यकारों की।
बहुत शानदार जानकारी
साहित्य कला और संस्कृति के क्षेत्र में आपने अल्मोड़ा को "अ से अल्मोड़ा" सिद्ध किया है। इस शानदार वीडियो के लिए आपका हृदय से आभार । वीडियो के माध्यम से 'अल्मोड़ा साहित्य महोत्सव' के आयोजन की सूचना देने पर आपका आभार व्यक्त करता हूं ।
Dhanyawad!
Swami Vivekanand visited four times to Almora,and agriculture college was established by his devotee
One again, you left us speechless. More power to you Harshit 💜🙏💕👍
Great outstanding work bro👌💐

For a sucker of history and culture like me who pursue this passion as a hobby...this content is just heaven 💟. Also i feel sometimes jealous while watching this content as i am not able to make time for making this worthy Content and same time i feel motivated and do bits of it ...Thanks harsh bhai and please don't stop ever ...such a well documented and directed piece of art and information is rare these days .
I will try to share it as much as possible.
The production quality is very much similar to giants like docubay natgeo dw etc...great if i am being honest and such precise information.
Thankyou!

Thanks A Lot for Enlightening us with our own Land's literary, Cultural and Historical Knowledge with such a delightful masterpiece presentation.
This Video reflects clear message to us today, specially the Youths about - Wake up, In the light of Development, our DEVBHUMI is getting exploited in disastrous manner,
Wake Up, we all have to stand against this model of Development.
Development is necessary when it is in terms of Sustainability.
Green and Sustainable Development is need of the hour.
देखो, अगर देवभूमि के संरक्षण के लिए अगर आज हम खड़े नही होंगे, तो कब होंगे।
Once Again, Thanks A Lot.

Thankyou!
I think you are the right person who knows about the actual source of Mahakali river which is limpiyadhura, if you know this case, next video on it.
Source of a river is a tricky thing. I am guessing you are from Nepal, and Nepal's political gains lie in the fact that Limpiyadhura is the origin.
While there is a possibility of it being historically and locally true, there are two things to consider:
1: There was a Kingdom and civilization here before Nepal or India or even British India existed. Lipulekh Pass is known to be in Kumaun before Gorkhas conquered it and ruled the land for a mere 25 years, and then after defeating them, British ruled for 130 more years.
Neighboring kingdoms that are today in Nepal like Jumla, Bajang and Doti were simply not powerful enough because they were not big enough.
British defeated Gorkhas in 1816, and border was decided as Mahakali, but both Gorkhas and British were foreign invaders in this land. Even if Limpiyadhura is to be considered the source, the treaty of Sugauli was signed with the British, not with the people who lived here, and live here now, who controlled the Lipulekh pass for generations and traded with Tibet. The land belonged to Nepal for a mere 25 years, during which, I might add, they ruled so brutally that even British were considered saviors.
2: The longest headstream doesn't always make the originating headstream, and it is particularly true in Uttarakhand. Examples are:
Tons is not the originating headstream of Yamuna, despite being much longer and bigger.
Jadh Ganga is not the originating headstream of Bhagirathi.
Saraswati is not the originating headstream of Alaknanda, so is not Dhauliganga by the way.
Lassar yankti is longer than Darma Yankti at confluence but it isn't the origin stream, and Darma Yankti itself is longer than Kali at Tawaghat, but it is not considered the mainstream of Kali.
Today, the pass of Lipulekh is vastly more important to India than to Nepal, so India will never give it up. Everyone looks out for their own gains.
भौत बढिया, प्रस्तुती।
Your uttarakhand centric videos are aswome
You should also consider the following topics for other videos
1. History of gorkhas in uttarakhand
2. Disputed areas of utterakhand
3. Uttarkhands culture, language and tradition
4. Difference between kumao and garwal
5. Architecture of utterakhand
6.uttarakhand in vedas
7. Similarities between uttarakhand, himachal pardesh and Nepal's sudurpachhim province
8. History of pharahi language
8.history about khas kingdom etc
Thanks
You forget about Katyuri Kingdom. And pre Katyuri kingdoms.
Beautiful film to watch. Utterly engaging mature editorial in substance. Must watch 👍👍👏👏
Thank you from the bottom of my heart.. love from almora.. and will try to attend almora lit fest
