INTRODUCTION |
|
|
My fifteen
years in Bihar as the State Editor of the District Gazetteers at the fag end of my service
had developed a deep love for such subjects. I am grateful to the Bharatiya Vidya Bhavan
for giving me an opportunity for researching into the temples and their legends in a
general way and try to arouse more interest in them in my readers.
I have attempted to give a book of general interest to the reader who has more or less, a
fleeting interest in the subject and would like to visit some of them some time. But at
the same time I have tried to give some indications where the reader who has more than a
fleeting interest could make a further study. For example, in this small book, besides
describing the more important old temples of Himachal Pradesh and their legends I have
indicated that there are people speaking a Mundari dialect in Lahoul and Spiti while
Mundari is the language of the Mundas living in Chotanagpur in Bihar, parts of Bengal and
Madhya Pradesh. |
