Lahul and Spiti: The Land of Paradoxes (Hardback)

Examines the Indian regions of Lahul and Spiti, together as well as discretely. Although they are two sub-divisions of one district, wide geographical expanse separates these. Historical compulsions united these two neighbours into one inseparable administrative unit, yet each of these retains its independent and individual identity. This work acknowledges all these factors and it has treated each subdivision accordingly.

From the pre-historic era to the present time, this book encompasses a wide range of subjects, such as geography, history, art, architecture, religion, archaeology, economy, society, women, ethnography, culture, crafts, festivals, each dealt very lucidly and critically. It includes a detailed and critical review of the role of Moravians in the academic and economic development of Lahul.
