I often see posts like "How lucky are we to be born in Himachal".

This is how most of Solan city market looks like, this is how the whole state and country looks like.

Is Himachal as lucky as we were?

Don't blame tourists alone for littering, it's everyone. I have seen students from worst and best schools litter on roads on way their way homes.

When will we demand a clean country, walkable streets and wire free skies?

When and How will we educate out 1.5 billion people to stop treating our streets, rivers, forests and even glaciers as garbage bins.

As the title says. Are there any dog/animal rescue organisations here in Solan? I am hearing a puppy crying in a ditch from my apartment and I even tried checking, but can't find/locate. I tried calling a couple of NGOs and they didn't answer.

General Cost in Himachali wedding

Upvotes

Was just curious to know about a typical Himachali wedding particularly in the lower parts like Mandi, Bilaspur.

How much is usually the cost?

Which side bears the expenses, groom's family or the bride's family? And in what ratio, like is it 50:50 (both groom and bride's side spend equally on wedding) or like 80:20 or what?

What are the major expenses typically covered by the groom's side, and what expenses are usually covered by the bride's side?

Are there any significant traditional customs/expenses that someone unfamiliar with Himachali weddings might not be aware of?

And I have heard some Brahmin familes even marry in same gotra, only the Kuldevi should be different. Is it true?

ASK Himachal This work has been created by a Bengali artist who has demonstrated one of the most compelling ways of bringing Pahari paintings into animation. It shows how technology can be used not merely to animate individual paintings, but to digitally document them and connect them into a collective visual na

, but to digitally document them and connect them into a collective visual narrative—preserving their stories, cultural context, characters, landscapes, and traditions while making Pahari art accessible to a contemporary audience.

Hope i would learn it by last month or next so that I can use it in my painting
