INTRODUCTION |

|
The evolution
of the different types of temples in this region could well be studied with that of the
other areas in the North and the South. There has hardly been any in-depth study of the
aboriginal art or the folk music and dances in this region.
I have drawn heavily on some of the older travelogues, monographs, gazetteers and research
pieces. My thanks are due to their authors. Mention has been made at the proper places of
those authors. Mr. M. D. Momgain, Mr. M. S. Mukherii, I.A.S. and Mr. K. L. Vaidya have
been kind to me by giving valuable ideas. My young friend, Mr. Binoy Mitra, a free-lance
artist of Chandigarh, has given the line picture for the book cover. My friends in the
Bhavan have taken great care for the production of the book. I am grateful to all of them.
I shall be happy if I have been able to catch the glory that the Himachal Pradesh
temples are along with their immortal legends in the, following pages even to a small
extent. I have enjoyed doing the book for the Bhavan and strengthening my ties with the
great institution once again.
