Uttarakhand, also known as the ‘Land of Gods’, is a state located in the northern part of India. The history of Uttarakhand dates back to ancient times when various unions and dynasties live there. It was a part of the Mauryan Empire until 185 BC, after which it came under the rule of various regional kingdoms.
During medieval times, Uttarakhand saw significant changes with several dynasties emerging and falling over time. In the 16th century, it became a part of Mughal Empire but later fell under British colonial rule in the early 19th century.
