History: The British discovered Shimla in the form of a little village in 1819. Until then, it was a part of the Nepalese kingdom. It was during Lord William Bentinck's time that Shimla was truly acquired by the Government of India. The British persuaded the local Raja to part with the land in 1830, and the settlement became the subcontinent's most fashionable summer resort. In 1864, Shimla was declared the summer capital of India. After the independence of India, Shimla became the capital of Punjab until 1966, when it came under Himachal Pradesh.

THERE are a few instances in life when one sincerely feels that events conspired to make things happen. One such instance is the story of the restoration of the Gaiety Theatre in Shimla, Himachal Pradesh, a saga that unfolded over several years.

The famous English architect Henry H. Irwin designed the original Gaiety building and theatre complex in the Gothic style. It was completed in May 1887 at a cost of Rs.3.23 lakh, an extravagant sum at the time, but seemed jinxed from the start. Numerous problems appeared within a few years of its completion. The nexus between the Public Works Department (PWD) and contractors seems to have been active back then as well, as subsequent inquiries revealed that inferior quality local stones had been used instead of the Kalka-cut stones specified in the tender document. By 1911, 24 years after the theatre opened, things came to such a pass that the authorities were left with no option but to declare the building unsafe and demolish its top three storeys. A temporary tin roof was put in place, which protected the building until as late as 2003 when the restoration work begans

ॐ हनुमते नमः॥ ॐ हनुमते नमः॥ Jakhoo Temple has an interesting mythological story attached to it. It is generally said that during the battle course of Ramayana, Ram’s younger brother Lakshmana got injured by a powerful arrow and became unconscious. He couldn’t be revived despite several efforts. Then, a renowned priest told Lord Rama that he needed a particular Sanjeevani herb to bring him back to life. Hanuman was given the charge of getting the herb from the Himalayas. While going towards the Himalayas, he met sage Yaaku on the hilltop. Hanuman sat on the mountain and cleared his doubts about the herb. The mount couldn’t bear his weight and got flattened, remaining half of its size. After collecting enough information about the herb, he promised Yaaku to meet him while going back to Lanka. However, on his way back, he had to fight with a demon named “Kalnemi” who tried to fool him around, which consumed a lot of his valuable time. To reach Lanka on time, he chose not to meet sage and took the shortest possible route. When sage was disappointed, he thought of meeting him in person and tell the reason for breaking the promise. As Hanuman left the place, an idol of him appeared on the hill by itself. To honour the Lord’s visit, Yaaku built a temple there. It is believed till date that the temple has the footprints of Hanuman and the monkeys that stay around the shrine are the descendants of Lord Hanuman. 📸 @akshay_uncut

Shivratri, a sacred festival of Hindus. It is believed that on this auspicious day Shiva married Parvati. The day is celebrated by offering bael leaves to Shiva, observing day fasting and all night vigil (jagaran). In upper Shimla it is celebrated by following old traditions. Singing pahadi Shiva strotam (aanchali), preparing various food items and the major attraction is Billy goats made up of flour (pic).
