It consists of higher ranges of hills descending towards south ,being succeeded by a narrow stretch of low broken country called the Bhabar ,and then by a gradual slope towards the great plain of Upper India , which is called the Terai .

Culture encompasses all learned and shared, explicit or tacit, assumptions, beliefs, knowledge, norms, and values, as well as attitudes, behavior, dress and language. All social units develop a culture; thus, it is the inhabitants of a specific region that collectively contribute to form that extraordinary cornucopia of life we call culture .
The rich culture of Kumaun is a blend of influences from the indigenous as well as from the immigrants to this region. The ancient cultural traditions of Uttarakhand are deep rooted primarily in religion , music , dance and arts are a manifest for the firm religious bonds of the people with the awe-inspiring Himalayas.
